Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed for applying therapeutic and/or protective dressings to a wound. Items in these kits usually include a mask, swabs, prep applicators, skin wipes, gauze sponges, sterile gloves, bandages, labels, and adhesive/tape. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Dressing procedure kits and trays are intended to protect a wound from additional injury and/or infections, for bleeding control, as well as to promote healing. They are used at home, in doctors\' offices and hospitals, and in other healthcare facilities.
