Gauze is a thin, translucent fabric with a loose open weave. Its name may derive etymologically from the Persian word for silk, via the Spanish word "gasa".
Uses and types
Gauze was originally made of silk.
When used in film and theatre, gauze is often fashioned into a scrim.
Gauze is also made of cotton, especially for use in bandages. It is especially useful for dressing wounds where other fabrics might stick to the burn or laceration.
Modern gauze is sometimes made of synthetic fibers, especially when used in clothing.
Gauze can also be made of metal, such as a wire gauze placed on top of a Bunsen burner.

A gauze is a metal piece that is made into a mesh that is placed on the tripod which is used when heating a substance above a bunsen burner.

It is a thin woven metal of plastic mesh used to separate mixtures, whereby small particles will pass through the gauze but big particles will not.
