medical supplies bandages

If you have an open wound, a bandage camouflages it so that absolutely no dirt or germs get in and infect the area. Although roots are long, they still cannot penetrate an infection spreading out of control because it can only make them wound worse and take longer to heal. Bandage: Bandages help keep the wound moist, which helps in faster healing. A bandage is a dressing that helps in keeping the wound clean and protected. Bandages can also decrease pain, that comfort is really good. They also provide support that keeps scars from forming as the wound mends.

Bandages come in many forms Certain bandages are used for specific types of wounds, where as other forms are more versatile and can be used on multiple injury sites. To use an analogy for bandages: if you had a cut on your arm, the type of bandage used would be different than that of which is placed over a blister on your foot. Choosing the right bandage based on what you need, greatly contributes to your healing.

Choosing the right medical bandage for your needs

For a minor cut or scratch, an adhesive bandage (like Band-Aid') is ideal since it adheres well and fits over the wound perfectly. But, if you have a bigger wound then you might require larger bandage which absorbs more moisture. Some are adhesive and some require a wrap or tape to hold them on. The bandage you choose will depend on the type of wound, where it is located on your body and how big it is. Ahh, but the right bandage can do wonders for you healing... and your speed of recovery.

Be kind to yourself when you peel away that Bandaid. Peel if off slowly instead of quickly ripping it away. Other times, ripping a bandage off can hurt more longterm for everyone involved. If the bandage has become stuck to a wound, you can try soaking it in warm, wet cloths. It will make it easier to remove without making the wound more painful. To promote healing, always be gentle on your wounds.
