Medical Dressings

Medical dressings are materials used to cover and protect wounds or surgical sites. They help keep the area clean, absorb any fluid, and promote healing by providing a suitable environment for tissue regeneration. Dressings can be made from various substances, such as gauze, foam, or hydrocolloids, and may also contain medications to prevent infection or reduce pain. The choice of dressing depends on the type of wound, its location, and the healing stage. Properly applied dressings are crucial for recovery, as they reduce the risk of complications and support overall wound management.
