Wound Care Basics

Cleaning: After one of our healthcare professionals has dressed your wound, you should leave the bandage in place for 24 hours. Then remove the bandage, gently clean the area with a mild soap and water. Gently pat the area dry.

Moisturization: After cleaning, moisturize your wound by applying ointment. Moisture is important for scabbing and timely healing. After moisturizing, put on a new bandage. Repeat the process of cleaning, moisturizing, and application of new bandage every 24 hours until your wound has come to the end of its healing stage.

Bleeding monitoring: Bleeding can sometimes occur during the healing process. If your wound starts to bleed, apply pressure to the area for 10 minutes, then check to see if the bleeding has stopped. If the bleeding continues or there is an excessive bleeding at any time, call your health provider immediately.

Infection monitoring: A little bit of redness around the wound is normal. However, increasing redness, swelling, burning or painful sensation indicates infection in the wound. Call your primary care physician immediately so an antibiotic treatment can be given.

Activity: If possible, do not move the wounded area for about three weeks after the injury or incision occurs. Slowly start using the area again after about three weeks.

Suture Removal: In order to heal effectively, different kinds of wounds require suture removal at different times. Follow your doctor’s instructions on when to get the sutures removed.
