These dressings were probably the first serious attempt to improve on the cotton
gauze 'dry dressing', and combine absorbency with reduced risk of adherence. They
were also the first to be described as 'non-stick' or non-adherent, a claim that
research suggests may have been exaggerated. Compared with the fabric dressings
used before, however, they were certainly low adherent. Sterile
