Short answer
Wound care stockinette is applied over primary wound dressings to hold them in place without adhesive contact with the skin. It protects the wound from external contamination, prevents dressing displacement, and enables adhesive-free dressing changes — critical for patients with fragile skin, latex sensitivity, or long-term wound management needs.
Tubular stockinette retains wound dressings without tape — gentler on fragile or elderly skin.
