Q. What is the purpose of surgical pad?

Answer

New semisynthetic and biosynthetic dressings have switched the focus from covering wounds to aiding the healing process. The surgical dressing pad is soft and comfortable and it guards against dirt and other potential sources of infection. A cotton gauze bandage holds the pad in place over the wound while also mildly compressing the wounded region to prevent further injury and stop the bleeding. Dressings for wounds are small lightweight and can be stored in a variety of places including a first aid kit box or cabinet. The connected sterile cotton pad should be placed with the face down on the incision.
