Purchase wound care supplies including topical solutions and bandages that are used to prevent infection and quickly heal burns, ulcers, and abrasions. The basic steps of wound care include cleaning, bandaging, and monitoring your wound. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's wound care instructions to avoid infection and other complications.
For optimal healing, you must clean the open wound, apply antibiotics, and change dressings when the bandage is wet or soiled. It is important for the wound to be moist, but not wet. Taking proper care of your wound will not only lead to faster healing but will also help reduce scarring.
When it comes to wound care, cleansing the affected area is a crucial step before applying a bandage.
If your wound is producing exudate, you may require the use of a wound gel before applying a dressing.
Express Medical Supply sells the hydroactive gel and paste in sterile, single-use tubes for hygenic purposes.
After cleansing a wound, a dressing such as a Mepilex dressing should be applied. These types of dressing help protect the wound and absorb exudate.
All dressings are designed to be easily removed without further damaging the healing wound.
