vehicle accidents. Even with the skin intact, the damage can reach down to the underlying muscle,
internal organs and bones. Crush wounds can sometimes be caused by heavy falling objects, such as
might happen in a car accident or collapsing building.

3. Different dressing to bandage .

-The distinction between a dressing and a bandage is fairly simple. A dressing is applied to a wound to
