Compresses: order versatile wound protection online
Many wounds require a complete covering that can also withstand various secretions. This is why dressings are still a constant companion in modern wound care. They come in different types for different purposes, as they have expanded dramatically since their creation.
Compresses are characterized by their skin-friendly materials and high absorbency. Many of the products are also sterile.
This is why they are not only a core component of the medicine cabinet for private individuals, but also belong in every surgery, nursing home and hospital. At parahealth, all these sectors are quickly helped out with a huge selection of compresses for every conceivable application - especially as ordering and delivery are handled very quickly.

What are compresses?
In wound management, dressings are often counted among the dressing elements, but differ from external dressings in many respects. The main distinguishing feature, however, is sterility: a compress is specially designed to be applied to wounds and must therefore be as clean and sterile as possible. It also offers optimum protection and support during healing thanks to its composition. The conventional dressing then joins this as an outer, stabilizing layer and often helps to hold the compress in place better.
Due to their range of tasks, compresses offer you many other advantages:
Skin friendliness
Breathability
Robustness
Elasticity
Absorbency
What are compresses used for?
As already mentioned, they promote wound healing and at the same time protect the affected area from contamination or bacteria. They can also cleanly absorb any exuding wound secretions. However, the tasks of a compress do not end there - especially not with today's wide range of products. They can reduce swelling or stabilize injured areas, as they help to apply even pressure to the affected area. This can also aid wound recovery: Everything from minor abrasions to post-operative wound care is possible. In the case of parahealth, we also offer specialized compresses such as cold or warm compresses, which also help to relieve pain.
The types of compresses for parahealth
So that you can cover a wide range of applications with your compresses, parahealth offers a wide range of classic and specialized dressings. These enrich both your own medicine cabinet and the professional medical sector.
Eye compresses: Eye compresses, such as the sterile BeeSana® eye compress in various sizes, are a special form that is nevertheless used particularly frequently. If the eyes are injured, they require special protection. On the one hand, this region is particularly shaped and therefore requires high adaptability and strong adhesion from medical plasters and dressings. On the other hand, the eyes are particularly sensitive and therefore require sufficient but gentle protection.
Gauze dressings: Gauze compresses are often used with additional dressing fixation At parahealth, you will find options such as the sterile BeeSana® gauze compress without RöKo, as well as non-sterile versions for external application or padding. These soft and particularly air-permeable compresses are ideal for simple dressing changes or for first aid.
ES compresses: Hardly a day goes by in the medical sector without this type, as they are known for their exceptional absorbency and strength. Whether for heavily oozing or bleeding wounds, for wound cleansing or in conjunction with fixation bandages, these compresses are particularly easy to expand and apply thanks to their folded absorbent edge. They are also very soft and skin-friendly, especially as they often contain fleece for increased durability.
Bandages: In the parahealth range you will find many designs, such as the ABE® padding bandage or the ABE Last® highly elastic fixation bandage. They usually complement compresses by providing additional support and protection. They can therefore be softer and non-adhesive or particularly elastic and self-adhesive. They also come in different materials, sizes and colors to allow individual adaptation to the needs of each wound.
Hot/cold compresses: These models can be warmed or cooled as required and therefore help to relax or relieve pain. They can also be used to alleviate symptoms such as swelling in the wound area and reduce it over a certain period of time.
Absorbent dressings: Although every compress has a minimum level of absorbency, this specialization exists for heavily weeping wounds that release particularly large amounts of wound fluid. These must be absorbed by the dressing without drying out the wound or contaminating it retroactively.
What you should consider before buying compresses
Although compresses can be quickly adjusted in terms of fit and the like, you should check and observe a few criteria before making a purchase.
Sterility is the top priority here: not every compress needs to be sterile, but you should be sure when you need sterile versions and then only order these. Sterile models are designed to avoid the risk of infection, while the non-sterile versions are often intended for an additional outer layer.
You should then consider the absorbency: Do you need the particularly absorbent models or will standardized versions suffice? How flexible should your compresses be? After all, this is what makes the difference between ES and absorbent compresses.
Finally, it is of course also important to estimate the quantity required. This depends on the duration of use and the frequency of change.
