Gauze sponge - a sponge, probably for cleaning an infected area
Alcohol prep pad - cleans wound before applying acohol

You may also need some thread and a needle..

Why do you keep falling?

Gauze Sponge: Either for cleaning wounds, or to cover a wound with an absorbant material. Like the stuff that is on a band-aid between the sticky parts. ;)

Alcohol Prep Pad: That's what you use to clean the skin before you give an injection or insert an IV needle. It is treated with rubbing alcohol.

Drainsponges: Where did you get drain sponges? Anyway, unless you have a surgical drain or feeding tube hanging from your body, you won't need those. Though, they are usually made of an absorbant material like gauze dressing so you could use them as gauze dressing just as well.
