Dressing

Dressings are used to cover wounds, prevent contamination and control bleeding.

In providing first aid we commonly used self-adhesive dressings or gauze dressings :

Adhesive dressings are used mainly for small wounds. They come in many different sizes,

including specific types for placement on fingertips.

Gauze dressings are thick, cotton pads used to cover larger wounds. They are held in place with

tape or by wrapping with a gauze strip (bandage).

Dressings must be sterile and absorbent to deter the growth of bacteria and should be left in place

until the wound heals, unless it needs to be regularly cleaned.
