Abstract
The present invention offers an efficient way to care for a patient's wounds. It allows for easy gauze changes without irritating a wound. The draining tube is used as a channel to deliver fluid to a wound. Infection can be monitored through the gauze as the cover component may include transparent regions. A wound can therefore be inspected by removing the cover component rather than an entire adhesive bandage. A wound can be kept clean, with quick and simple gauze changes several times a day thereby accelerating the healing process.
