A surgical pin compressive wound dressing housing is described as a device that couples with a wound dressing material or sponge of a specific type and provides a protective closed environment for the surgical point of entry wound where surgical pins or wires are applied. In addition, this device serves to stabilize such surgical pins or wires as they protrude from the surgically made pin site wound upon a patient's skin. Such pins or wires are often utilized, but not limited to, the fixation of fractured bones or when anatomic stabilization is needed. The unique cup like design of the wound dressing housing allows it to couple with a specific type of wound dressing material that has similar geometric features. The top of the wound dressing housing has a central pin hole whereby a pin stem extends upward. Together both the pin hole and pin stem receive the surgical pin or wire which can then be stabilized by the plastic closure snap in the front of the device after the wound dressing housing, and its corresponding wound dressing material, is pressed downward toward the surgical pin or wire point of entry wound. A hinge in the back of the device allows the wound dressing housing and its associated pin stem to split into equal right and left halves upon opening the device. This allows the device to be placed around the surgical pin or wire in question. By utilizing both the left and right hand clasps the user can close the device thus engaging the closure snap in the front of the wound dressing housing which secures the device in the closed position.
