How often should sterile dressings be changed

When we have some wounds on the skin, we should use some sterile dressings in time, which can effectively isolate some bacteria. Because when the wound is infected with bacteria, it is not only difficult to recover, but also very likely to be infected with tetanus, which is more serious. Especially for some primary school students, they don’t know how to deal with their own wounds. Sterile patches are the best choice. So how long does it take to change the sterile dressing?

There is no strict regulation on how often sterile dressings should be changed. Do not use them for long periods of time. It is best to use or change them as directed by your doctor. After using the sterile dressing correctly to clean and disinfect the wound, tear open the package, peel off the isolation paper, and stick the side of the dressing containing the absorbent pad to the injured area.

The sterile dressing consists of a base material and a separation paper (or an additional dressing core). From a cosmetic perspective, sterile dressings can maintain a moist healing environment for the wound, accelerate wound healing, and reduce scar formation. How to use the sterile dressing: select the product with an effective size that matches the size of the wound, open the package, remove the isolation paper, stick the tape around the wound, and place the absorbent pad on the wound. There is no strict rule on how often sterile dressings should be changed. It is best to use or change them according to your doctor's advice.

Sterile dressings can prevent water and bacteria from entering, reduce wound infection, and make it easier for patients to bathe. Sterile dressings are generally composed of non-woven fabric coated with medical pressure-sensitive adhesive, absorbent pads and isolation paper. The usage and dosage are as follows: after cleaning and disinfecting the wound, tear open the package in the direction of the arrow, peel off the isolation paper, point the side of the dressing containing the absorbent pad at the injured area, and then stick it flat on all sides. When using the sterile dressing, be careful not to use it if it is damaged. If an allergic reaction occurs, stop using it immediately.
