What is wound cleansing?

Thorough wound cleansing means removing impurities and dead tissue from a wound. It plays an important role in wound treatment and healing. Wound cleansing is carried out both in professional medical facilities and in home care. The use of appropriate products is important to thoroughly clean the wound without damaging the surrounding skin or hindering the healing process.

Thorough wound cleansing reduces the risk of infection and also promotes healing. Professional wound cleansing can also help to alleviate pain and swelling. Proper wound cleansing is particularly important in the initial treatment of wounds after accidents or surgical procedures in order to promote the healing process as far as possible.

When is wound cleansing important?

Wound cleansing always plays a role if there is a risk of contamination or if an injury affects the surrounding tissue and skin. Dirt, bacteria and other foreign bodies can penetrate open wounds such as cuts, abrasions or burns and cause infections. Post-operative wounds or chronic wounds that do not heal naturally require regular cleaning to keep the wound clean. A thoroughly cleaned wound can often heal faster, as infection, inflammation and therefore delayed healing can occur without thorough wound cleaning.

The advantages of wound cleansing

Wound cleansing should be carried out correctly and also has many benefits for the healing of an injury:

  • Prevention of infections: By removing dirt and bacteria, the risk of infection is greatly reduced.
  • Promotes wound healing: By cleaning the wound, the tissue can regenerate more quickly.
  • Pain relief: A clean wound often leads to a reduction in inflammation, which reduces pain.
  • Prevention of complications: Regular wound cleansing ensures that no pus formation or other complications occur.

Which products support wound cleansing?

Sterile and high-quality materials are of the utmost importance for thorough wound cleansing. There is a wide range of products that have been specially developed for cleaning and caring for wounds.

Antiseptic solutions

Disinfectants and various irrigation solutions for wound cleansing are particularly important in wound care. Products such as antiseptic sprays have also been specially developed for disinfecting open wounds and can effectively prevent infections.

Swab

Swabs help to clean wounds of minor injuries or sensitive areas. They are made of soft absorbent materials and are sterile-packed to prevent contamination. Swabs are ideal for dabbing off wound fluids, applying disinfectant precisely or gently cleaning the wound without irritating the tissue. Sterile gauze swabs can be used to treat difficult areas safely and hygienically.

Sterile compresses

These are ideal for gently cleansing wounds and for covering them after disinfection. Compresses are available in different sizes and for various applications and are characterized by their high skin-friendliness and absorbency.

Plasters and bandages

After thorough wound cleansing, the wound should be covered with a sterile wound plaster or dressing to protect it from dirt and bacteria. There are a variety of sterile wound plasters and elastic bandages that adapt perfectly to the wound and ensure optimum protection.

What should be avoided when cleaning wounds?

Although wound cleansing may seem like a simple and intuitive process, there are some common mistakes that should be avoided:

  • Use of non-sterile materials: Non-sterile dressings or plasters pose a risk of infection. It is therefore important to only use sterile products for wound cleansing and care.
  • Rubbing the wound too vigorously: Rubbing the wound can cause additional damage to the skin and delay the healing process. Light dabbing is therefore recommended.
  • Avoid disinfection: Even with smaller wounds, a suitable disinfectant should always be used to minimize the risk of infection.

Special challenges in wound cleansing

Some wounds are a little more challenging to clean. Here are a few examples:

Severely weeping wounds

Special absorbent dressings should be used to absorb excess fluid from wounds that secrete a lot of wound secretions. These prevent the wound or surrounding skin from drying out or becoming irritated.

Deeper injuries

In the case of deeper wounds, the wound edge should also be thoroughly disinfected to prevent infection of the surrounding skin. Sterile gauze dressings are suitable here, as they gently clean the tissue.

Sensitive skin

People with sensitive skin need special products that do not cause allergic reactions. There is also a selection of skin-friendly disinfectants and plasters that are also suitable for sensitive skin.
