Understanding Nonocclusive Dressings: Promoting Healing and Preventing Infection

Nonocclusive means not obstructing or blocking. In the context of medicine, a nonocclusive dressing refers to a type of bandage that does not constrict or impede blood flow. Instead, it allows for free drainage of fluids and promotes healing by keeping the wound clean and dry. Nonocclusive dressings are often used for wounds that are prone to bleeding or have a high risk of infection, such as deep wounds or wounds with exposed bone or tendons.
