wound dressings
Protective injury wrappings
Wound dressings are materials applied to cover and protect injuries—cuts, burns, surgical incisions, or other breaks in the skin.
They range from simple adhesive bandages to specialized products that maintain moisture, absorb drainage, or deliver medication.
The plural form typically refers to the category of medical supplies: The nurse changed the wound dressings daily.
