Dressing changes are essential for keeping wounds clean, preventing infection, and supporting the healing process. They ensure that the wound environment remains optimal for recovery and allow for regular monitoring of the wound's condition.
The frequency of dressing changes depends on the type of wound and the treatment plan. Typically, dressings are changed regularly, as specified by healthcare providers, to ensure continued protection and to address any changes in the wound condition.
