Simple wound dressings involve the cleaning, protection, and coverage of minor cuts, abrasions, post-surgical sites, or healing wounds to promote faster recovery and prevent infection. The procedure includes gentle cleaning of the wound with antiseptic solutions, removal of any debris or dead tissue if necessary, and the application of a sterile dressing or bandage. Depending on the type and condition of the wound, various dressing materials may be used—such as gauze, hydrocolloid, or non-adherent pads—to maintain a moist healing environment. These dressings help protect the wound from external contaminants, reduce pain, and support the natural healing process. Regular follow-up and dressing changes are important to monitor for signs of infection and ensure proper wound care.
