Wound Dressing: The Critical First Step in Wound Care

Once the appropriate dressing material is selected based on wound characteristics, it must be properly applied and secured. Adhesive bandages secure themselves while gauze dressings often need additional bandages, tapes or ties to prevent slippage. Dressings over joints may require flexible tape or self-adhering wraps.

Signs the dressing needs changing include slippage, heavy soiling or saturation, increased odor or drainage, or signs of infection like increased pain, swelling or redness. Proper hand hygiene and cleaning around the wound is also important when changing dressings.
