Compresses and dressings are important products in medicine, used to treat wounds and relieve pain. They are essential for first aid, surgical wounds, burns, abrasions or bites. They are often worn by people taking part in outdoor activities, such as survivalists, tourists or campers.
Compresses - what are the types?
There are several types of compresses, which differ in material, purpose and properties. Here are the main types of compresses:
- Gel compresses - used to treat sports injuries, bruises, contusions, muscle pain and arthritis. Their effects include pain relief and reduction of swelling.
- Sterile compresses - used on fresh wounds or after surgical procedures, where there is a risk of infection. They provide protection against bacteria and other pathogens.
- Cold compresses - effective in treating injuries such as bruises, sprains and swelling. They work by constricting blood vessels and reducing inflammation.
- Heating compresses - used for muscle pain, rheumatic pain and menstrual pain. The high temperature helps relax tense muscles and increases blood flow to the treated area.
