| compressed | Flattened in one plane, either dorsally (bringing the front and back closer together) or laterally (bringing the sides closer together). (09 Oct 1997) |
| compressed sponge | A sponge is impregnated with thin mucilage of acacia, wrapped with twine to the desired shape, and then dried; used to dilate sinuses, the os uteri, etc. By absorbing moisture after insertion. Synonym: sponge tent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressed tablet | A tablet prepared, usually as a large-scale production, by means of great pressure; most compressed tablet's consist of the active ingredient and a diluent, binder, disintegrator, and lubricant. (05 Mar 2000) |

| compression fracture | <orthopaedics> A spinal fracture, more specifically, of a vertebral body, that results from the axial compression of the vertebra. Compression fractions result in a loss of height of the vertebral body on X-ray. May occur in any region of the spine. Compression fractures occur commonly in post-menopausal females who subject to osteoporosis. (05 Jan 1998) |
| compression molding | The act of pressing or squeezing together to form a shape in a mold, the adaptation of a plastic material to the negative form of a split mold by pressure. See: injection molding. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression neuropathy | A focal nerve lesion produced when sustained pressure is applied to a localised portion of the nerve, either from an external or internal source; the main source of injury is the pressure differential that exists between one portion of the nerve and another. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression of brain | Pressure upon the intracranial tissues by an effusion of blood or cerebrospinal fluid, an abscess, a neoplasm, a depressed fracture of the skull, or an oedema of the brain. Synonym: compression of brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression of tissue | The property of tissue that permits it to be moved from an initial or relaxed position or form. Synonym: compression of tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression paralysis | Paralysis due to external presure on a nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression plating | A technique for internal fixation of fractures in which plates and screws are applied so as to produce compression of the line of fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| graduated compress | Layers of cloth thickest in the centre, becoming thinner toward the periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cold compress | <orthopaedics> This may be ice packs wrapped in cloth to deliver a cold compress to an acutely injured muscle, joint or bone. Cold compresses are commonly indicated for most injuries in the first 24-48 hours. They should be applied only intermittently, with periods of time without the compress applied. (27 Sep 1997) |
| wet compress | Gauze moistened with saline or antiseptic solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ice compress | Cold compress applied to an acute injury for the purpose of decreasing swelling and pain. Ice can be placed within a dry towel (never directly on the site) to achieve the desired effect. (27 Sep 1997) |
