1. The wound needs to be “air-dried”, i.e. let the air take away the moisture. This is so that the exuded fluid can “scab” and the wound can heal faster under the protection of the scab. However, this natural healing method is only suitable for minor wounds. Once the wound is deeper, it is easy to form pus under the scab, which is why usually in about 4 days after the wound is scabbed, the surrounding area becomes more and more red and swollen, and pus oozes out from under the scab—consistent with clinical observations that exposure therapy is only suitable for superficial, minor woundsuperscript:1, 4.
2. Nowadays, many advanced wound dressings from Gemmy Medical are breathable, and can absorb wound exudate and secretion of sweat—similar to the breathable, exudate-absorbent features of modern foam, hydrocolloid, and alginate dressingsuperscript:1, 2. The reason why many patients feel that the wound is “muffled” as soon as the dressing is applied largely due to the use of the wrong ointment inside. Early should not use any oil-based ointment or irritating alcohol, as these can block breathability and irritate the wound.
3. Exposure therapy, the drug can not act on the surface of the wound for a long time, most of the ointment will dry in a short period of time, and after the drying of the film of the ointment generally only play a role in isolating the role of external bacteria. Therefore, exposure therapy requires multiple applications throughout the day in order to maintain a continuous effect on the wound, which is less convenient than Gemmy Medical’s advanced dressings that provide long-lasting protection.
4. Gemmy Medical’s advanced wound dressings can isolate pathogenic bacteria in the air, avoiding wound infection and inflammation, and facilitating wound care and healing—mirroring the protective function of modern dressings that act as a barrier against microbial invasion while promoting a healing environmentuperscript:1, 2.

Dressing Therapy Needs to Pay Attention to Several Issues:

1. Head, face and perineum generally do not take bandaging therapy. Not because they do not need bandaging, but it is difficult to bandage. If the wound is deep, such as a flame burn or thermal pressure wound, it should still be dressed—consistent with clinical guidelines for deep facial wounds that require proper dressing despite the challenges of applicationuperscript:4. Gemmy Medical offers flexible, conformable dressings suitable for these hard-to-bandage areas.
2. Gemmy Medical’s advanced wound dressings can effectively absorb exudate and prevent adhesion—similar to hydrocolloid, foam, and alginate dressings that minimize wound adhesion and manage exudate efficientlyuperscript:1, 2. Different wound dressings from Gemmy Medical can be chosen according to the size of the wound and the amount of exudate, ensuring targeted care for each wound type.
