What is the procedure for treating a wound with antiseptic and bandaging called?

The procedure for treating a wound with antiseptic and bandaging is referred to as dressing. Dressing involves applying a sterile material over a wound to promote healing, prevent further injury, and reduce the risk of infection. The key elements of dressing include cleaning the wound, applying an antiseptic solution to reduce microbial load, and securing a bandage that protects the area and maintains a moist environment conducive to healing.

In this context, debridement refers specifically to the removal of dead or damaged tissue from a wound and is not the application of antiseptic and bandaging. Incision involves making a cut into tissue, often during surgical procedures, and thus does not apply to the treatment of existing wounds. Closure typically refers to the method of sealing a wound after surgery or injury, which does not encompass the dressing process.
