Dressing
Dressing in Malleshwaram
Overview:
Dressing means the material applied, or the application itself of material, to a wound for protection, healing, and absorbance. The procedure includes cleaning, disinfection and protection of the wound, which has a significant impact on the speed of healing, the function of the repaired skin and the cosmetic appearance of the resulting scar.
Pre Procedure:
You must wear comfortable loose clothing to keep the dressing site friction-free and for ease of performing the procedure.
During Procedure:
-
The procedure is done in a treatment room specially assigned for dressings.
-
You are settled comfortably in an area where your privacy is respected throughout the procedure.
-
If it’s your first session, the procedure is explained to you and your cooperation is obtained.
-
A doctor will evaluate the wound and decide on a suitable dressing type.
-
The nurse disinfects her hand with an alcohol-based hand rub. The wound site is cleaned with surface disinfectant/antiseptic. A septic dressing material is used to cover the wound site and secured with adhesive tape or bandage.
-
The entire process takes not more than 15 to 20 mins, depending on the wound.
-
Dressings are typically changed once a day or every alternate day to avoid disturbing the wound-healing environment. A Tegaderm dressing is usually changed at an interval of every 3 days. Hence, your next appointment can be pre-scheduled with the nurse to avoid delays.
Post Procedure:
-
The wound is to be kept dry and not wetted. The patient is advised to stick to sponge bathing till the wound has healed.
-
Loose clothing is to be worn so as not to disturb the dressing and the wound.
-
There are no dietary restrictions, post-procedure.
-
In case you observe soakage or bleeding from the wound site, contact your doctor immediately.
