Two, gauze bandage can directly contact the wound

The key use of gauze bandage is to wrap the wound area, there is pressure to stop bleeding. Gauze is generally sterilized, can be used directly in the wound, the bandage is mainly to fix or protect the surgical or injury area of the material, the bandage is not sterilized, can not be used directly in the wound area, but can be used to wrap the gauze. We can first disinfect the injured area, then cover the gauze in the wound area, and then take the bandage to wrap and fix it, and then tie a knot to fix it on the line, the bandage can also be used in trauma, varicose veins, orthopedics and other conditions of the bandage.

In the clinical medical gauze and bandages can be in direct contact with the wound area, almost always after strict sterilization treatment, the patient does not need to worry about, basically will not be induced infection or inflammation of the phenomenon.

Here, I recommend that you use gauze or bandage before wrapping the wound, give the wound a good cleaning, there are impurities or some necrotic tissue should be cleaned up the wound, and then do a good job of disinfection, anti-infection treatment, to prevent the recovery period to the progress of healing.

Then in ordinary life, we can see, gauze bandages are sterilized can be used directly in the wound dressing, if not, or to do sterilization can be used in the wound area Oh!
