The principle of a bandage is to control bleeding, fix the wound to promote healing, protect the wound, prevent bacterial invasion,reduce the risk of infection, and provide support and fixation by applying pressure.
In the Middle Ages, bandages began to be widely used in the treatment of war injuries and daily medical care. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the development of aseptic technology, the role of bandages in surgical procedures became increasingly important, and sterilized gauze bandages began to be used. Since the 20th century, with the continuous advancement of technology, significant breakthroughs have been made in bandage materials and manufacturing processes, resulting in the emergence of new materials such as polymer materials, medical adhesives, and elastic bandages, which have made bandages more effective in fixing, protecting, compressing, and stopping bleeding.
The types of Hongguan bandages include gauze bandages, elastic bandages, self-adhesive bandages, etc. The application of these new materials makes bandages lighter, more comfortable, and has better fixation and protection effects. In addition, some bandages are also coated with antibacterial ointments or healing enhancers to accelerate wound healing.
