-
A small compress or gateau of lint- (the filaments arranged parallel to each other)-flattened between the hands after the extremities have been cut off or folded down. It is applied over wounds, ulcers, &c., to preserve them from the contact of the air, to retain dressings in situ, and to absorb the discharges.
