Carded
Cotton
Carded
Cotton
is
used
as
a
dressing
for
superficial
burns,
and
care
should
be
taken
to
free
it
from
specks,
as
flies
are
apt
to
lay
their
eggs
there,
and
generate
maggots.
804.
Tow
Tow
is
chiefly
employed
as
a
padding
for
splints,
as
a
compress,
and
also
as
an
outer
dressing
where
there
is
much
discharge
from
a
surface.
805.
Ointments
Ointments
are
spread
on
calicoes,
lint,
or
even
thin
layers
of
tow,
by
means
of
a
knife;
they
should
not
be
spread
too
thick.
Sometimes
ointment
is
applied
to
discharging
surfaces
on
a
piece
of
linen,
folded
over
on
itself
several
times,
and
then
cut
at
the
corners
with
scissors,
in
order
to
make
small
holes
in
it.
The
matter
discharged
passes
out
freely
through
these
holes,
and
is
received
in
a
layer
of
tow
spread
over
the
linen.
806.
Adhesive
Plaster
Adhesive
Plaster
is
cut
into
strips,
ranging
in
width,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
wound,
&c.,
but
the
usual
width
is
about
three-quarters
of
an
inch.
Isinglass
plaster
is
not
so
irritating
as
diachylon,
and
is
more
easily
removed.
807.
Compresses
Compresses
are
made
of
pieces
of
linen,
calico,
lint,
or
tow,
doubled
or
cut
into
various
shapes,
according
to
the
purposes
for
which
they
are
required.
They
are
used
to
confine
dressings
in
their
places,
and
to
apply
an
equal
pressure
on
parts.
They
should
be
free
from
darns,
hems,
and
knots.
Ordinary
compresses
are
square,
oblong,
and
triangular.
Compresses
are
also
graduated
by
placing
square
pieces
of
folded
cloth
on
one
another,
so
arranged
that
they
decrease
in
size
each
time.
They
are
used
for
keeping
up
pressure
upon
certain
parts.
