Wound Care

What are the essential wound care supplies I should have?

Key wound care supplies include sterile dressings, adhesive bandages, antibiotic ointments, hydrogen peroxide or saline solution for cleaning, gauze, medical tape, and disposable gloves. It's also beneficial to have a digital thermometer to check for fevers.

How do I properly clean a wound?

To clean a wound, first, wash your hands thoroughly or wear medical gloves. Use mild soap and warm water to clean the area around the wound. Avoid getting soap on the wound itself. Rinse the wound with water or a saline solution, and pat it dry with a clean towel before applying any ointment and bandages.

When should I change a wound dressing?

A wound dressing should generally be changed daily, or whenever it becomes wet or dirty. However, the frequency can depend on the dressing type and the wound's severity. Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider.

What is the difference between an antiseptic and antibiotic ointment?

An antiseptic is used to clean or disinfect wounds and prevent infections, while an antibiotic ointment treats an existing infection. Antiseptics are applied to the wound before the dressing, while antibiotic ointments are applied directly.

When should I seek professional medical help for a wound?

You should seek immediate medical attention if the wound is large, deep, caused by a dirty or rusty object, or if it doesn't stop bleeding after 10 minutes of direct pressure. Also, get medical help if signs of infection develop, such as redness, increased pain, pus, or fever.

Can I use waterproof dressings for a wound?

Yes, waterproof dressings can benefit wounds, especially in areas prone to getting wet, like hands. They protect the wound from water and bacteria and often stay in place better than non-waterproof alternatives.
