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.
