A sterile dressing protects the wound and promotes tissue healing. Wounds heal from the deepest exposed tissues first, then builds layer upon layer of new tissue within the wound. A sterile dressing should almost eliminate the chances of introducing infection while these new layers of tissue are laid in and while each layer knits itself to existing tissue.
To perform a wet-to-moist sterile dressing change, start by washing hands and donning sterile gloves. Remove the old dressing and discard it properly. Clean the wound area with sterile saline, then apply a moistened sterile gauze dressing and secure it in place with sterile gauze or tape. Document the procedure and assess the wound for signs of infection or healing.
