Bon Secours Hampton Roads uses a unique wound bandage, called TheraGauze. TheraGauze is made up of a white fabric that’s moistened with a polymer mixture. Instead of keeping the wound dry, this bandage keeps it moist. As a result, TheraGauze bandages don’t need to be changed as often, lasting two to three days. With most patients, wounds heal faster with TheraGauze versus other traditional bandages. Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital in Newport News has been using TheraGauze since it came out in 2007.
