What is Aseptic Wound Dressing?

Aseptic Wound Dressing is a dressing technique used to prevent infection in a wound. The general steps involve:

Washing hands and putting on sterile gloves
Cleaning the wound without causing further damage to the area
Completely covering the wound with a sterile dressing

It should be noted that even if a wound is already infected, Aseptic Wound Dressing may be employed to prevent further infections from being introduced to the wound. Furthermore, different wounds may require different dressings, so it is important to choose the appropriate dressing before application. Aseptic Wound Dressing techniques are used by healthcare professionals while performing procedures such as dialysis, inserting catheters, tubes, or intravenous lines, and when handling various surgical equipment.
