Sterile gauze dressings are individually packaged to make sure they’re free from any dirt or bacteria, making them the ideal choice for preventing infection in open wounds.
To use a sterile gauze dressing, wash your hands and put on a pair of disposable non-latex gloves before touching the dressing or the wound itself.
Hold the pad by the edges and lay it directly on top of the wound, making sure the pad covers beyond the edge of the wound.
Secure the pad with adhesive tape, but never wrap the tape all the way around the injured body part as this could reduce blood flow.
