The use of dressings and gauze on wounds after surgical stitches has its own benefits, depending on the specifics of the wound. For wounds with little bleeding and exudate, it is recommended to use dressings, while for wounds with more exudate, it is recommended to use gauze. 1. Dressing: For wounds caused by trauma, after thorough debridement and disinfection of suture, if the bleeding is completely stopped and there is no large amount of exudate after the operation, you can use dressings to bandage the wounds to play a protective role in order to avoid bacterial invasion and cause infection. 2. Gauze: It is mainly suitable for those who have more exudates at the incision after suturing. Because gauze is more absorbent and breathable than dressing, it can fully absorb the exudate from the incision. It is recommended to be chosen by a medical professional according to the specific conditions of the patient’s incision.
