Have you always wondered, what is the difference in a single layer or multiple layer bandage?
What are Single Layer Bandages?
Single layer bandages, as the name suggests, are made up of one layer. They are normally used for treating superficial wounds. Cuts and burns can be treated properly with the help of single layer bandages.
Nasal deformities are quite common in people – it can be present right from birth or can develop in the later stages of our lives. However, they are serious and should never be left untreated.

We all are aware that wound healing is more complicated than just wound assessment and treatment. To select the most appropriate bandaging system, one must understand the concepts of extensibility, recoil, and working and resting pressures.
Till date, little research has been done to investigate the best combinations of bandages or different bandage application techniques. We totally rely on clinical experience and tradition.
