tissue and will often
have large amounts
of exudate

compression to aid in coagulation and
exudate control in these deeper wounds

protection device to
prevent shearing,
friction, skin tears, and
injuries provides a
cushioned layer which
will absorb the force of
shear and friction,
functioning as a second
layer of skin.

Bandage is both
preventative for injury
and tearing, and
helpful in maintaining
the integrity and
securement of the
bandage used in the
treatment

dressing material to
manage exudate or can
be place over clothing

underneath from
sliding
