For a shallow cut wound, if the tendon or muscle is slightly damaged, it must be treated with antimicrobial agents and covered with sterile gauze. If the cut is small, you can cover it with a band-aid.
A puncture wound needs to be examined and treated by a physician, as surgery is required in most cases. The treatment required here is as follows: stop the bleeding and treat with antiseptics. If the bleeding does not stop, apply a sterile bandage until the bleeding stops. The patient is given an injection of tetanus serum.

They also use 3 percentage solution potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide and a 2% solution of chloramine. Iodine is not recommended for use; it can cause skin burns. You can use brilliant green as an antiseptic.
Healing ointments can also be used to treat open wounds. Not even big wound, if there is an infection, it can provoke a risk of disease. After correct processing open wound, it is left alone for two days, then healing ointments can be used. The ointment quickly restores damaged tissue, has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions.

Beauty and Health Health
Hardly anyone wants to get injuries and wounds on purpose, but many people get them. The risk group includes athletes, people certain professions, hyperactive children and adolescents; In addition, unfortunately, the cause of injuries is often a simple failure to comply with life safety rules. But here we will not talk about how to avoid injuries and wounds, but about how to heal them faster if they have already appeared.
If you immediately treat the wound correctly and treat it correctly, then recovery will go quickly: this must be done as quickly as possible, but carefully, without touching the wound itself, but removing all dead tissue and dirt from it.
Of course, you should consult a doctor, and if there are deep enough wounds or cuts, this must be done - it is better if first aid is provided by a specialist, and if necessary, he will apply stitches and teach how to handle them.
If you can’t see a doctor immediately, you need to treat the skin around the wound with the antiseptic that you have on hand: brilliant green, iodine, etc., and apply a sterile temporary bandage, but no less than 2 hours later you need to do the dressing according to all the rules. In order for the wound to heal quickly and correctly, it must be treated, and for this you need to have everything you need at home: bandages, tools - scissors and tweezers, treated with alcohol; antiseptic solutions and wound healing drugs.
Wounds should be bandaged 1-2 times a day; Dry and wet wounds are treated with different means.
If the wound needs to be washed, use a solution of furatsilin, hydrogen peroxide or other aqueous solutions of antiseptics; if the wound is inflamed, you should immediately consult a doctor; if not, continue usual treatment gradually, using wound healing agents.
The main properties of such products are the absence of toxic components, the ability to stimulate the processes of cell regeneration and collagen formation, and quickly deliver oxygen and glucose to cells. If the wound is wet, do not use ointment - the product should be in the form of jelly: it does not stop healing, while ointment with fatty components forms a film, preventing fluid from being released from the damaged surface.
Jelly is replaced with ointment when the wound gradually turns dry - it is better to take one drug, but in a different dosage form. Now the wound needs a protective film, under which it will heal better without being exposed to external environment– here you can even remove the bandage. If you can’t remove it completely yet, you can apply it not immediately after treatment, but after 2-3 hours, and gradually increase this time - this way the tissue will still heal faster.
Healing remedies can be pharmaceutical or traditional - in any case, they must be prescribed by a doctor.
From pharmaceutical products, preparations with vitamins or provitamins are often used: for example, retinol acetate or dexpanthenol - provitamin B5. These products come in the form of ointments, creams or lotions, but not in jelly form, so they are not suitable for treating wet wounds.
Preparations with methyluracil have an anti-inflammatory effect and stimulate cellular immunity, so wounds heal quickly, but they can only be used on dry wounds - they are also not available in jelly form.
In the 90s, a drug called universal by many doctors - Eplan - began to be produced in Moscow.. This remedy treats dermatitis, burns, ulcers, radiation injuries, has pronounced regenerating properties and heals wounds - it is produced by Oberon JSC. First of all, the drug actively destroys microbes and increases the activity of phagocytes, so it can be used to treat fresh wounds, but it cannot be applied to bleeding wounds - it is an anticoagulant, and it can reduce coagulation.
Eplan quickly clears wounds of infection, and at the same time does not create barriers to the flow of oxygen into them; There are no toxins, hormones or antibiotics in it. It is produced in the form of a solution, liniment and cream.
Around the same time, the Swiss company Nycomed created a drug based on the blood extract of dairy calves - Solcoseryl, produced in the form of ointment and jelly (its analogue is Actovegin, and it is also available in these forms), and perfectly heals any wounds. It can be used as initial stages– in the form of jelly, and during the period of wound granulation – in the form of ointment.
Solcoseryl protects the wound, prevents germs from penetrating, accelerates metabolism and regeneration processes, and even relieves pain - you need to use it 2-3 times a day, and healing will proceed quickly and without complications.
Folk remedies are used along with pharmaceutical ones, if recommended by a doctor, or when the wounds are small and not serious.
It happens that the wound is small, but does not heal for a long time, and can even fester - the resin of coniferous trees will help cure it. It is better to collect resin in late spring - early summer, from smooth, strong mature trees - no need to make notches. The collected resin is melted and mixed 1:1 with pure butter - it is better to prepare it yourself: beat 0.5 liters of fresh and full-fat village milk in a blender and collect the butter. The resulting mixture is applied to the wound 2 times a day - it heals within a few days.
If you immediately lubricate a fresh abrasion with pure resin-resin from pine, spruce, fir, it will heal very quickly.
To treat abscesses, ulcers, cuts, abrasions, and boils, an ointment is prepared from spruce resin, sunflower oil, honey and wax. The ingredients are taken equally, melted in a water bath, mixed and used to lubricate sore spots.
For a long time non-healing wounds There is another effective remedy - ointment made from burdock and celandine. Crushed celandine and burdock roots (20 and 30 g each) are poured into 100 ml of sunflower oil and boiled for 15 minutes over low heat, removed, filtered, cooled and applied to sore spots several times a day - after a week the wounds usually heal.
Propolis has long been known for its healing properties – you can also use it to prepare a homemade ointment for healing wounds. You can take any fat base - vegetable or butter, fish or pork fat(5 parts), bring it to a boil in a saucepan and add crushed propolis (1 part). Continue cooking for half an hour, stirring, at 80°C, then strain through cheesecloth, cool and use. You can store the ointment in the refrigerator for a whole year.
Homemade wound balm with juniper tar, turpentine (100 g each), yolks and rose oil(1 tbsp). The butter is ground with two fresh yolks, and then purified turpentine is gradually added, 1 tsp at a time, with constant stirring - otherwise the mixture will curdle. Then add tar and mix everything thoroughly. The resulting balm is carefully poured over the wounds, scooping it up with a teaspoon.
Rose oil can also be made at home: pour olive oil (1 glass) over fresh petals of garden roses (2 glasses), close the container tightly and leave in a container for 2-3 weeks. dark place. The mixture is stirred periodically, then filtered and used.
Poorly healing wounds and ulcers are sprinkled with willow bark powder- You can buy it at a herbal pharmacy. Willow has hemostatic, antiseptic and wound-healing properties; You can take the powder orally, especially during fever and fever - 1 g after meals, 3 times a day.
Compresses with tincture of nettle leaves are applied to fresh wounds.. Place fresh leaves loosely in a 0.5 liter bottle or jar almost to the top, fill with 70% alcohol and place in the sun for a week. Strain the resulting tincture and wash the wounds with it before applying a bandage.
Nettle contains many substances that have hemostatic, wound-healing and analgesic effects, so its fresh juice can be poured onto wounds, or napkins soaked in juice can be applied to them.
Yarrow also has similar properties: it promotes blood clotting, destroys microbes, relieves inflammation and pain - its juice can also be poured onto wounds, or a bandage with fresh herbs crushed into a pulp can be applied to them.
Wound healing is accelerated not only due to local effects - it is very important what our entire body is nourished with. For example, the drug Oxyprolan can be used both externally, in the form of a cream, and internally, in the form of a dietary supplement - it also stimulates the production of collagen and accelerates regeneration processes in tissues.
In addition, the diet should contain a lot of natural lean protein and vitamins: fresh fermented milk products, meat and fish, fruits and vegetables.

It is precisely this destruction that differs from a rupture, bruise, and also sprain; a wound differs from a wound and is the result of tissue destruction. A wound has three main signs: bleeding, as well as gaping and pain, which depend on the nature of the wound itself, the volume of tissue destroyed and the blood supply to the wounded area.
The wound area has walls, a wound bottom and wound volumes; they can be of two main types, that is, accidental or surgical.

Then around the wound itself you should lubricate the edges, this can be done a solution of ordinary iodine or alcohol, now only it is possible to treat this wound in different ways, of which there are many.
The simplest and effective ways treatment:
Precautionary measures
A large number of different injuries are accompanied general bleeding, which entails large volumes of blood loss and infection.
You need to know that you can only treat small and medium-sized wounds on your own, when their width does not exceed 1 cm, otherwise you will need the help of a specialist. If you forget to treat the wound in a timely manner, this will lead to anaerobic and pyogenic infections, and will also cause tetanus and even hepatitis infection.
Infection can then lead to abscesses and cellulitis, lymphadenitis and lymphangitis, as well as sepsis, erysipelas, gas gangrene and so on. The patient should also be given antitetanus serums, and also requires toxoid and various vitamins, plasma and gamma globulin.
The basic principle of treating open wounds is to restore the regenerative function of the skin - nature is designed in such a way that skin cells are capable of certain conditions self-healing. But this is only possible if there are no dead cells at the wound site - this is the essence of treating open wounds.
Table of contents: Stages of treatment of open wounds Primary treatment in the treatment of open wounds How to treat a weeping open wound How to treat an open purulent wound Creams and ointments for treating wounds at home Folk remedies for treating open woundsStages of treatment of open wounds
Treatment of open wounds in any case involves going through three stages - primary self-cleaning, inflammatory process and granulation tissue restoration.
As soon as a wound occurs and bleeding begins, the vessels begin to sharply narrow - this allows the formation of a platelet clot, which will stop the bleeding. Then the narrowed vessels expand sharply. The result of such “work” blood vessels There will be a slowdown in blood flow, increased permeability of vascular walls and progressive swelling of soft tissues.
It was found that such a vascular reaction leads to the cleansing of damaged soft tissues without the use of any antiseptic agents.
This is the second stage of the wound process, which is characterized by increased swelling of the soft tissues, the skin becomes red. Together, bleeding and the inflammatory process provoke a significant increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood.
This stage of the wound process can also begin against the background of inflammation - there is nothing pathological about it. The formation of granulation tissue begins directly in the open wound, as well as along the edges of the open wound and on the surface of nearby epithelium.
Over time, granulation tissue degenerates into connective tissue, and this stage will be considered completed only after a stable scar has formed at the site of the open wound.
A distinction is made between healing of an open wound by primary and secondary intention. The first option for the development of the process is possible only if the wound is not extensive, its edges are brought close to each other and there is no pronounced inflammation at the site of damage. And secondary intention occurs in all other cases, including with purulent wounds.
Features of the treatment of open wounds depend only on how intensively the inflammatory process develops and how badly the tissue is damaged. The task of doctors is to stimulate and control all of the above stages of the wound process.
Primary treatment in the treatment of open wounds
Before the victim seeks professional medical help, he must thoroughly wash the wound with antiseptic agents - this will ensure complete disinfection of the open wound. To minimize the risk of wound infection during treatment, hydrogen peroxide, furatsilin, a solution of potassium permanganate or chlorhexidine should be used. The skin around the wound is treated with brilliant green or iodine - this will prevent the spread of infection and inflammation. After the described treatment, a sterile bandage is applied on top of the open wound.
The speed of its healing depends on how correctly the initial cleaning of the open wound was carried out. If a patient comes to the surgeon with punctured, cut, lacerated open wounds, then he must undergo specific surgical treatment. Such deep cleaning of the wound from dead tissue and cells will speed up the healing process.
As part of the initial treatment of an open wound, the surgeon removes foreign bodies, blood clots, and excises uneven edges and crushed tissue. Only after this the doctor will apply sutures, which will bring the edges of the open wound closer together, but if the gaping wound is too extensive, then the sutures are applied a little later, when the edges begin to recover and the wound begins to heal. Be sure to apply a sterile bandage to the site of injury after such treatment.
Note: in most cases, a patient with an open wound is given anti-tetanus serum, and if the wound was formed after an animal bite, a rabies vaccine.
The entire described process of treating an open wound reduces the risk of infection and the development of complications (sepsis, gangrene, suppuration), and accelerates the healing process. If the treatment was carried out on the first day after receiving the injury, then no complications or serious consequences are expected.
How to treat a weeping open wound
If there is an excessive amount of serous-fibrous exudate in an open wound, then surgeons will take measures to treat the open, weeping wound. In general, such copious discharge have a beneficial effect on the healing rate - they additionally clean the open wound, but at the same time, the task of specialists is to reduce the amount of exudate - this will improve blood circulation in the smallest vessels (capillaries).
When treating weeping open wounds, it is important to change sterile dressings frequently. And during this procedure, it is important to use a solution of furatsilin or sodium hypochloride, or treat the wound with liquid antiseptics (miramistin, okomistin and others).
To reduce the amount of serous-fibrous exudate released, surgeons use dressings with 10% aqueous solution sodium chloride. With this treatment, the bandage must be changed at least once every 4-5 hours.
A weeping open wound can also be treated using antimicrobial ointments– the most effective will be streptocidal ointment, Mafenide, Streptonitol, Fudizin gel. They are applied either under a sterile bandage or on a tampon, which is used to treat an open, weeping wound.
Xeroform or Baneocin powder is used as a drying agent - they have antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
How to treat an open purulent wound
It is an open purulent wound that is most difficult to treat - purulent exudate must not be allowed to spread to healthy tissue. To do this, a regular dressing turns into a mini-operation - with each treatment, it is necessary to remove accumulated pus from the wound; most often, drainage systems are installed so that the pus is provided with a constant outflow. Each treatment, in addition to the specified additional measures, is accompanied by the introduction into the wound antibacterial solutions- for example, Dimexide. To stop necrotic process in an open wound and to remove pus from it in surgery, specific agents are used - Trypsin or Himopsin powders. A suspension is prepared from these powders by mixing them with novocaine and/or sodium chloride, and then sterile napkins are impregnated with the resulting product and tucked directly into the cavity of an open purulent wound. In this case, the bandage is changed once a day; in some cases, medicated wipes can be left in the wound for two days. If a purulent open wound has a deep and wide cavity, then these powders are poured directly into the wound, without the use of sterile wipes.
In addition to such thorough surgical treatment of an open purulent wound, the patient must be prescribed antibacterial drugs (antibiotics) orally or by injection.
Features of the treatment of purulent open wounds:

Note: Before using folk remedies in the treatment of open wounds, you must make sure that the victim is not allergic to any of these medicinal plants.
It is best to entrust the treatment of open wounds to professionals - surgeons will be able to timely determine the onset of the development of the infectious process and select effective treatment. If you decide to do therapy at home, you must carefully monitor the condition of the victim. If you experience elevated body temperature or pain at the site of injury of unknown etiology, you must urgently seek professional medical help - it is quite possible that a dangerous infectious process is progressing in the wound.

In the form of a cut or wound. Most often, people injure their arms and legs. Little children in progress active games may fall or get scratched. Adults are cut with knives and scissors. Most often, no one is afraid of a minor injury, but not everyone knows how to properly treat a wound and what complications may arise.
In the absence medical supplies they can be replaced with an aqueous 2% soda solution, concentrated solution table salt, chamomile infusion, vodka. Unless a cut or wound is made with a sterile scalpel, there will always be germs in it. Even postoperative wounds become infected, not to mention household wounds. After treatment, the wound must be closed from possible re-contamination by applying a bandage or plaster. If we are talking about very small and shallow cuts, you can stop there.
Inflammation of the wound occurs due to microbes. It is accompanied by swelling of the edges of the wound, an increase in the temperature of the surrounding tissues, and pain. During inflammation, cells are released from the blood that kill microorganisms inside the wound. This is the body's protective response. If the cut is covered with a crust of blood, it should never be torn off, even if pus or serous fluid. This crust protects the wound from new microbes and allows the healing stages to proceed sequentially. After a week, the inflammation subsides, and the wound begins to be lined with granulation (intermediate) tissue. During normal healing, after another 7-10 days, granulations turn into a scar.
Sometimes wounds take a very long time to heal or become reinfected. In such cases, surgical intervention, wound revision, and antibacterial therapy are necessary. This can happen if the wound is treated incorrectly or not treated properly. There is also a risk of the wound becoming infected with dangerous microbes and developing diseases such as gangrene or tetanus.
Any cut, even the smallest one, must be treated. This is the first necessary condition to prevent possible complications. You should not ignore medical help, and if possible, it is better to consult a specialist.
