An adhesive compress is a type of medical dressing that combines an absorbent pad with an adhesive backing, allowing it to stick directly to the skin over a wound. It is used to protect the wound, absorb exudate, and promote healing while keeping the area clean and secure. Commonly known as a bandage or plaster, it is convenient for minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions.
