Wound Cleaning

Once we have donned our PPE, gloves, wound cleansing is typically the the first task when treating a trauma or wound.

Quality of care is a critical requirement for wound healing and ‘good’ care of wounds has been synonymous with topical prevention and management of microbial contamination. Topical antiseptics are antimicrobial agents that kill, inhibit or reduce the number of microorganisms and are thought to be essential for wounds infection control.
