dressing and wound care products

Dressing and wound care products are materials used to protect and promote healing of skin injuries. Dressings cover wounds to keep out bacteria, dirt, and moisture, creating a clean environment that supports tissue repair. Types include bandages, gauze, foam, hydrocolloids, and transparent films, chosen based on the wound's size, depth, and moisture level. Proper use helps prevent infection, manage pain, and speed recovery. Wound care products may also contain medications like antimicrobials or healing agents to enhance healing. Together, they help ensure wounds stay clean, protected, and heal effectively.
