Tamponage refers to the process of inserting a tampon or other absorbing material as a medical treatment for bleeding or other conditions. However, there are many words that can be used to refer to this process, including gauze packing, wound dressing, bandaging, compression, plugging, stuffing, or packing. Each of these words are slightly different in their specific meanings, but all refer to a similar process of inserting absorbent material to stop bleeding or support wound healing. Medical professionals may use different terms depending on the context and specific situation, but all of these words can be considered synonyms for tamponage.
