An ointment compress is a medical product that is used for local treatment of various diseases and injuries. It consists of two layers: the inner one, which is impregnated with ointment, and the outer one, which separates it from the fixing bandage.
Ointment compress is used in various fields of medicine, including surgery, therapy, dermatology and others. It helps reduce pain, swelling and inflammation, and speeds up the healing process of wounds and injuries.
When using an ointment compress, certain rules must be followed. For example, before applying a compress, you need to clean the skin and treat it with an antiseptic. Then an ointment that corresponds to the disease or injury is applied to the inner layer of the compress. After this, the compress is applied to the skin and secured with a bandage.
It is important to note that ointment compresses are not a replacement for the main treatment and should be used only as prescribed by a doctor. In addition, compresses can cause allergic reactions, so you should consult your doctor before using them.
