Wundeinlagen sind nicht dasselbe wie Wundauflagen, da diese im Kontext später kontrastiert werden.

Wie denn? Sind Wundeinlagen Tamponaden?

After a maximum of three days the LIGASANO® white padding on the wound surface and/or padding inserted into the wound must be changed.

Nach spätestens drei Tagen Wundkontakt muss die Wundauflage bzw. Wundeinlage ausgetauscht werden.

Here's an example of a manufacturer of "Wundeinlagen" and "Wundauflagen" not having a succinct translation and resorting to padding on the wound surface and/or padding inserted into the wound.

«Wundauflagen sind das erste Verbandsmaterial, das bei der Wundversorgung mit der Wunde in Kontakt kommt.»

“Packing materials may include any of the following:

· Gauze, which may be dry or moistened with normal saline (NS), ointment or hydrogel.

· Impregnated ribbon dressings.

· Hydrofiber dressings.

· Alginate dressings.

· Antimicrobial dressings

· Negative wound pressure therapy (NPWT) foam and gauze dressings.”

Dr Guck’s English in #4 leaves a lot to be desired. It relates to a specific product, which seems to be a foam dressing that just happens to provide some extra padding. The main aims of the primary dressing is to keep the wound clean and absorb secretions/exudates.

Wundauflage = (primary) wound dressing

 There are many different types of dressing that can be placed on the surface of the wound (the primary dressing), as described in the first link above (z.B Schaumstoff-Wundauflagen, Wundauflagen mit Alginaten, Wundauflagen mit Hydrogelbeschichtung, Hydrofasern oder Hydrogelen, usw.)

Wundeinlage = wound packing

Comes in strips or squares and, once again, different materials can be used to pack inside the wound, as in the second link. The addition of silver nanoparticles or antiseptics has an antimicrobial effect.

> 'antibiotic padding on the surface of or inside the wound' => "antimicrobial wound dressing or packing material"
