Home care for minor wounds!

First, wash and disinfect the wound to remove all dirt and debris. Use direct pressure and elevation to control bleeding and swelling. When wrapping the wound, always use a sterile dressing or bandage. Very minor wounds may heal without a bandage. You all need to keep the wound clean and in moist condition for faster healing/recovery. You should also make sure you get plenty of rest.

Wounds fall into two broad categories:

In a closed wound, tissue damage and bleeding occur under the surface of the skin. Examples of closed wounds include bruises.

An open wound involves a break in the skin that leaves the internal tissue exposed. Open wounds may result from falls, blunt trauma, and surgery.

Minor, or acute, open wounds may not require medical treatment. People can treat these types of wound at home. However, severe open wounds that involve significant bleeding will require immediate medical attention.

An acute wound is expected to progress through the phases of normal healing, resulting in the closure of the wound. These wounds are generally easy to heal and easy to treat.

Have you come across the word Chronic wound?

Chronic wound is a wound that fails to progress healing or respond to treatment over the normal expected healing time frame and becomes stuck in the inflammatory phase.

A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time the way most wounds do, wounds that do not heal within three months are often considered chronic.

Chronic wound needs advanced wound care and you need us!

At first, chronic wounds are regularly cleaned and covered using wound dressings and bandages. If a wound still hasn’t healed after a long time despite this wound care, special treatments such as vacuum-assisted closure or skin grafts are used.

A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time or wounds that do not heal within three months are often considered chronic. Chronic wounds often remain in the inflammatory stage for too long and may never heal or may take years.

Chronic wounds are difficult to heal. It’s important to understand the five reasons why a wound won’t heal:

• Poor circulation
• Infection
• Edema
• Insufficient nutrition
• Repetitive trauma to the wound.

All wounds heal in the same way. Firstly, new red tissue builds up in the bottom. Then new skin grows in from the edges and covers the red tissue. Your wound will heal fastest if you create the best conditions for new tissue to grow. This means keeping your wound clean, warm, and moist. Here are few tips for the wound to heal faster:

• Wash your hands before touching the wound.
• Clean the wound properly.
• Keep a clean dressing on the wound to avoid any further septic infection.
• Cover your wound and protect it from all the external forces.
• Eat healthy. Eating proper diet is the main strength behind a wound healing.
• Make sure your wound dressing is not exposed to water.
