Reading a dressing listing

Product names give the dressing type, brand, and size, written as width by length in inches or centimeters. Check whether the dressing has an adhesive border, whether it is sterile, and how it is sold: each, box, carton, or case. A wound care nurse, doctor, or other clinician chooses the dressing for a particular wound.
