Is the wound festering and healing soon?

After inflammation occurs, there will be water discharge, skin breaking and a little purulent secretion for a short period of time. At this time, everyone will think that the wound will heal quickly due to suppuration. In fact, it is not a symptom of suppuration in the wound, but it means that it has been infected by bacteria. At this time, the bacteria need to be cleaned away first and then disinfected. By keeping the local area dry and promoting local scab, it can slowly recover when there is no water discharge.

Immunity

When the wound shows symptoms of suppuration, it means that the wound has been infected by bacteria. The body's tissues can repair themselves after being damaged as long as they are not infected, so it is recommended to use sterilized medicines to treat wounds with broken skin, and rarely sprinkle ointments or powders on the wounds.

Vital immune cells - white blood cells can phagocytize and kill bacteria and viruses and produce antibodies, playing an important role in healing body injuries, resisting the invasion of pathogens and immune protection against diseases. The infiltration of leukocytes is the most important feature of the inflammatory response, and the most important function of the inflammatory response is to transport inflammatory cells to the local area of ​​inflammation.

Infiltration of neutrophils and monocytes can also phagocytose and degrade bacteria, immune complexes, and necrotic tissue debris, which constitute the main defense link of the inflammatory response. Purulence is not only the result of bacteria harming the human body, but also the result of the combined action of bacterial invasion and the body's counter-invasion. If the body's resistance is weak, abscesses will not easily form. At this time, bacteria will spread throughout the body and cause sepsis, which will seriously threaten our lives.

Treatment

Dressing

Traditional dressing options for dry environments: natural gauze (cotton pads), medical invisible antibacterial film;

New wet environment dressing options: transparent patches, foam dressings. Because there is usually a period of hospitalization or follow-up period after surgery, refer to the doctor's instructions for medication during this period. The following care recommendations are mainly for the wound condition during the rehabilitation care period one week after the surface surgical incision. Mainly for minimally invasive surgical incisions or suture removal incisions.

【Medical invisible antibacterial film】

Physical antibacterial, promotes wound healing, reduces scars, stops bleeding and relieves pain, with no side effects. The antibacterial film dries automatically within about 3 minutes after being sprayed. Gauze: When using medical invisible antibacterial film, there is generally no need to apply cotton gauze or other dressings externally. It is only used to block foreign body contamination. Gauze bandages are not recommended when used on rashes.

【Transparent sticker】

Clearly observe changes in the wound, reduce oxygen partial pressure to increase local blood supply and reduce pressure; use when exudate is relatively small

【Foam dressing】

It absorbs some sweat to prevent skin maceration, and strongly absorbs exudate to keep the wound relatively dry while reducing pressure. Use when exudate is relatively high

【Adapt to wound condition】

1) After discharge from hospital, the wound has not healed completely to a certain extent and may even have exudate.

2) After discharge from hospital, the surface wound has certain inflammation and infection.

3) Save the trouble of queuing up to buy medicine in the hospital, the inconvenience of travel, and the same dressing products are cheaper (dressing products in the mall are 15% cheaper than those in the hospital)
