Compresses are usually made of an absorbent material that is placed on a wound to absorb blood and other body fluids, keep the wound clean and aid the healing process. The different types such as gauze dressings, absorbent dressings, eye dressings and non-woven dressings are each tailored to specific needs and applications.

Compresses are versatile dressing materials that are used in various first aid scenarios. Their main role is to assist in wound care, where they enable clean and effective treatment. Here are some specific situations where dressings are typically used:
1.Haemostasis and wound covering: Compresses are often used to control and stop bleeding. They absorb the leaking blood and other fluids and help to keep the wound clean. This is particularly important in emergency situations where quick action is required.
2. Protection against infection: Due to their absorbent and often sterile properties, dressings offer important protection against infection. They keep the wound free of contaminants and reduce the risk of infection, which promotes the healing process.
3.Application of medicated ointments: Compresses can also be used to apply medications or ointments directly to a wound. This ensures that the healing substance remains exactly where it is needed and can optimise its effect.
4.Treatment of chronic wounds: Compresses are essential for long-term care, especially for patients with chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers. They help to keep the wound dry and clean while creating an environment that promotes healing.
5. After surgical procedures: After surgery, compresses are used to cover and protect the operated areas. They absorb wound exudate and help to protect the wound from mechanical irritation and infection.
6.Use in dermatological care: Compresses are also useful in the treatment of skin diseases and injuries such as burns, abrasions or eczema. They provide gentle coverage and protection from external influences while the skin heals.
Compresses can be used in numerous ways in wound care. Particular attention must be paid to the correct use of the compress, especially in the case of open wounds. The top priority here is to prevent inflammation or infection of the wound - e.g. through the penetration of dirt particles. The following steps should be observed:
Wound dressings are available in numerous sizes and designs. They are usually made of an absorbent material that does not fluff. This includes cotton gauze or other cotton fabric, such as fleece or cellulose. Due to their absorbency and texture, gauze bandages are suitable for heavily or slightly oozing wounds to keep wound edges supple and protect burn wounds.
Non-woven dressings are particularly soft and are therefore suitable for wounds that are very sensitive to pain, such as abrasions. They are made of non-woven fabric with a special coating and are very absorbent, which is why they are also suitable for wounds that bleed heavily.
Fleece dressings are often used for wounds that are only slightly exuding. In other words, they only secrete small amounts of secretions (fluids). They are made of polyester, viscose or a mixture of both materials. As the non-woven fabric is folded several times, it does not stick to the wound. They are very breathable but also very absorbent.
eye compresses are used for dry or oozing wounds on the outer eye. The eye compresses are characterised by the fact that they are particularly low-linting and skin-friendly. The compress protects the wound on the eye from external influences without sticking to the wound. The shape of the compress is oval and therefore already adapted to the eye.
Gauze compresses are one of the best-known types of compresses. They are made of 100% cotton, are folded several times, have folded edges and are therefore particularly absorbent. Gauze dressings are suitable for wounds that are highly exudative - i.e. release a lot of fluids.
Absorbent dressings are extremely absorbent and are therefore ideal for large and heavily bleeding wounds. Absorbent dressings are also made of non-woven fabric, but have an additional cellulose layer, which makes them very absorbent and prevents blood and wound fluids from seeping through.
