How to Do a Wet-to-Dry Dressing Change | Wound Care Step-by-Step

Learn how to do a wet-to-dry dressing change step by step in this practical wound care demonstration. In this video, I walk through the process of removing the old dressing, cleaning the wound area, preparing the moist gauze, applying the wet-to-dry dressing, and covering it with a dry secondary dressing. I also explain the purpose of the dressing, how wound drainage is managed, and why proper dressing placement matters for protecting the surrounding skin. This video is helpful for nursing students, nurses, healthcare students, caregivers, and anyone learning basic wound care and dressing change techniques. Topics covered include wet-to-dry dressing changes, wound care, wound cleansing, normal saline, gauze application, dressing removal, wound drainage, nursing skills, and healthcare education. For educational purposes only. Always follow provider orders, current wound-care recommendations, your facility’s policies and procedures, and your scope of practice. Wet-to-dry dressings are not appropriate for every wound.
