Bandages and Dressings

Bandages and dressings are materials used to cover and protect wounds. Dressings are applied directly to the wound to absorb fluids, keep out dirt and bacteria, and promote healing. Bandages are strips of material used to secure dressings in place or to support injured areas. Together, they help prevent infection, reduce pain, and support the body's natural healing process. Proper selection and application are important to ensure protection and comfort.
