The right wound care contributes to a faster healing
The importance of proper wound care
Wounds – in whatever form – are inevitable. No one is safe from minor or major injuries, whether at work and home when playing with animals or with the family. Depending on the cause, the type and appearance of the wound also vary. Proper wound care helps to prevent infection and promote faster wound healing with less scarring. Using the right wound care products is essential to create the best condition for growing new tissue.
Types of wounds
A range of events can result in different types of wounds, whether they’re as minor as a slight cut or as major as wounds from dog attacks or amputations. Yet, the characteristics and the required treatment of these wounds can significantly differ. To grasp this concept, we must examine the distinct categories of wounds and the specific treatment each type demands.

Essential steps to first aid
Injuries are usually only superficial and can usually be treated easily by yourself. Follow these steps to ensure proper wound care:
Cleansing: If the wound is still bleeding, let it bleed out briefly to clean itself. Remove coarse dirt, such as broken glass or grit, with a disinfected tweezer. Next, spray or apply a wound disinfectant to prevent the wound from infection.
Disinfection: A mild non-stinging wound disinfectant spray will help kill any possible germs. It will protect the wounds against infections.
Care: Smaller wounds can be covered with a plaster. Larger ones require a compress wrapped with a gauze bandage and light pressure. This protects the damage, stops the bleeding and allows it to heal.
Ideally, it would be best always to have the most necessary items ready in your medicine box: bandages, sterile compresses, plasters of various sizes and a wound disinfectant and wound gel should not be missing.
