Wound healing

The skin is the protective layer that isolates germs and is a very important barrier to the body. Once injured, the first point to assess is whether it is a clean wound or a dirty wound with the risk of infection. If the wound is clean, you can use a closed dressing change, sometimes you can leave it for two or three days, or even a week or so, and then come back for a disposable surgical dressing change. You can even cover the gauze product, wait for some time and then open it, the wound has also grown well.

Cover the wound with gauze

And the wound in the care must maintain a balance of wet and dry, not too dry, and not too wet. Because excessive dryness will keratinize, epidermal cells cannot grow up, easy to let the epidermis heal stagnantly, also will let the gauze product stick, stuck in the wound, and it is difficult to change medicine. However, excessive wetness will result in too much fluid flow and cause wound erosion. A moderate balance of wetness and dryness must be maintained to keep the epidermal cells active and gradually heal to the center of the wound, which can be easily removed when changing the gauze product.

Recurrent wound inflammation

If a wound is repeatedly inflamed and the healing process is delayed for a long time, the scar will easily become pitted. Therefore, the key to wound care is to control the infection and shorten the inflammation period, so that the epidermal cells of the wound can proliferate as soon as possible and the red, painful, and hard scars can slowly mature and soften and fade. Gauze product helps a lot.

Change of medication

When changing gauze products at home, you should first use sterile saline with a cotton swab to clean the exudate and old ointment on the wound, which can reduce the number of bacteria and help the wound heal.

However, if there are a lot of exudates or a dirty wound with contamination, it is not suitable to dress disposable surgical dressing immediately, nor can you put artificial skin on it, you should take an open dressing change, or even stay in a burn ward with visitor restrictions to avoid aggravating infection. In the first few days, sterile physiological saline can be used to clean up the wound with appropriate debridement, and then antibiotic or antibacterial ointment can be rubbed on. When the exudate and secretion become less and the wound is clean, then depending on the state of the wound and the amount of exudate, a suitable gauze or disposable surgical dressing can be selected for temporary protection.
