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
