A wound dressing support device for holding a variety of standard gauze pads in place on top of an open wound and for providing for painless access to the wound. The wound dressing support device consists of an elongated elastic unidirectional wrap which includes a window opening therethrough. The unidirectional wrap is adaptable for conforming to various parts of the anatomy of a patient and includes releasable loop and hook fasteners for securing the wrap around the trunk, head, limb, hand and other parts of the anatomy. The window opening may be of different widths, lengths and geometric shapes for application to different sizes and types of wounds. The window opening is accessed above and on top of one or more gauze pads placed on the wound bed. The wound dressing support device includes loops and hooks around the perimeter of the window opening for releasable engagement of a portion of the sides of the gauze pad. When the dressing is released, the used gauze pad can quickly be removed from the wound bed and replaced with a fresh gauze pad. The window in the wrap allows for visual inspection of the gauze pad relative to the nature of wound drainage, the amount of drainage, and when the dressing needs to be changed. The window further allows for improved evaporation of gases and liquids secreted from the wound and through the gauze pad.
