Wouldn't putting gauze in abscess cavity lead to further infection!? Is this procedure good?

It seems to work well. However, I’ve only seen an example of as drainage collects on the gauze, X amount of days will pass, the old gauze gets replaced with new gauze so that drainage does not just sit in the person.

Agree the gauze should be replaced regularly to avoid bacterial growth...

Actually what they use is an abscess loop and they make two incisions and tie it through both of them
