Detailed explanation-1: -A dressing is a sterile pad or compress applied to a wound to promote healing and protect the wound from further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, as distinguished from a bandage, which is most often used to hold a dressing in place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sterile gauze is usually kept in a sealed package, to ensure that it’s perfectly clean. It can be used to clean cuts, scrapes, and burns, and also acts as a large bandage. There is also a non-medical fabric called gauze that’s used in light, warm-weather clothing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Traditional wound dressing products including gauze, lint, plasters, bandages (natural or synthetic) and cotton wool are dry and used as primary or secondary dressings for protecting the wound from contaminations [30].

Detailed explanation-4: -Sterile Dressing. A sterile, un-medicated pad on a strong conforming bandage. These dressings come in a range of sizes meaning they can treat wounds of all sizes. The pad provides a cushion for the wound and absorbs all exudates (e.g., blood, pus).
