Ella from Dallas wonders: What type of bandage is best for a healing wound? Hi Ella! The best type of bandage depends on the wound. For minor cuts, adhesive bandages work well. For larger or deeper wounds, a sterile gauze pad with adhesive tape or a specialized wound dressing is often better. Keeping the wound moist with a hydrocolloid or hydrogel dressing can promote faster healing. Be sure to change the bandage regularly and follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations for your specific wound type. Your healing process is important to us! Feel free to ask more questions. #WoundCareWisdom #AskBHWoundCare #BandageTypes #HealthcareAdvice #PatientInquiries
