Wound compression dressings are sterile coverings applied directly to injured skin to apply controlled pressure, reducing fluid buildup and promoting healing. They are primarily used in post-surgery care, such as after skin grafts, or for managing burns by preventing swelling and infection.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical devices rather than drugs. They may be classified differently depending on jurisdiction, and availability varies by region, often supplied through hospitals, clinics, or specialized medical supply chains.
