Only dressings in sealed packages labeled as being sterile are sterile (free of all microbes) until opened & contaminated by being in contact with anything that is not sterile. These are available at almost any pharmacy or drugstore. Nothing that is not labeled as sterile can be considered free of germs. Never breathe over or allow anything to touch the side of a sterile dressing which will touch the wound.
