How Does Wound Care Work?
We thoroughly assess the wound, considering its size, depth, location, and cause. We gently wash the wound to remove dirt and germs. We promote recovery by removing dead or damaged tissue. We apply appropriate bandages that protect the wound, absorb moisture, and aid healing. We administer antibiotics orally or apply them topically to prevent infection. We use pressure therapy to reduce edema and enhance healing for specific types of wounds.
