• There are in fact a variety of dressing options
  available used by the caregivers, doctors and
  patients to help their wound heal quickly and to
  prevent their wounds from further complications
  like infection. The dressings are designed to be
  in direct contact with the wounds and they are
  totally different from the bandage which keeps
  the dressings intact in place. The dressings
  actually serve variety of purposes depending upon
  the type of dressings used. Apart from decreasing
  the risk of infection and further complications,
  dressings are also used to help stop bleeding and
  form clotting upon wound so that it can heal
  quickly. Dressings can also absorb the additional
  plasma, blood and fluids. It also begins the
  healing procedure quickly. There are different
  types of wound dressings available out there
  today.
• Hydrocolloid dressing is the most advanced type
  of wound dressing that comprises hydrophobic
  colloidal substances like pectin, gelatin and
  cellulose. This type of dressing comprises very
  strong and robust film and comes with form
  adhesive backing. Hydrocolloid wound dressings
  vary greatly in their absorption capacities. This
  type of dressing absorbs the exudate gradually by
  changing into gel-like mass. When the dressing is
  removed from the wounds there is no residue
  remain on the wound bed. Since the residue may
  smell fouls, it is always mistaken as a symptom
  of infection. This type of dressing is available
  in variety of pre cut shapes and sizes.

• This type of dressing is also known to provide
  exceptional thermal insulation to wounds and
  resistant to oxygen, water and bacteria. The
  wounds that are dressed by using this type of
  dressing are in less risk of having
  infection.Another type of dressing used by the
  centers in Australia is Foam dressing. It is a
  type of sheet or other shapes of formed polymer
  solutions with open, small cells that are capable
  of keeping the fluids intact. This type of
  dressing is sometime impregnated or they are
  layered with a combination of other materials.
  The capacity of the absorption greatly depends on
  the composition and thickness of the dressing.
  The layer that comes in direct contact with the
  wounds is non-adhesive, thus making it easier for
  you to remove after healing.
