Dressing change frequency

Dressing change frequency refers to how often a wound or injury dressing should be replaced to promote healing and prevent infection. The timing depends on the type of wound, the type of dressing used, and the healing process. Some dressings may need changing daily, while others can stay in place for several days if they remain clean and secure. Following healthcare provider instructions ensures proper healing. Regular dressing changes help monitor for signs of infection, keep the wound clean, and support a healthy recovery process.
