    Wound dressings are used to prevent infection, promote wound healing, and maintain skin integrity by cleansing wounds and applying prescribed antibiotics. The proper materials needed for dressing a wound include sterile gloves, cleansing solutions, gauze dressings, antibiotic cream or ointment, and hypoallergenic tape. The steps to dress a wound are to wash hands, clean the wound with an antiseptic, apply antibiotic cream and secure a dressing larger than the wound with tape.
