Bien que les termes «pansement» et «compresse» soient souvent utilisés comme synonymes, il existe une nuance entre ces deux termes. La «compresse» consiste en un amas de coton, ou une superposition de tissus, qui sert à éponger, à nettoyer ou à comprimer au cours d'une opération ou de la pose d'un pansement. Le «pansement», quant à lui, consiste en l'ensemble de compresses stériles, sèches ou imprégnées de médicaments, appliquées sur une plaie pour la guérir, la protéger des chocs et l'isoler de l'infection. 3, record 2, French, - pansement%20abdominal
