Not all wounds are suitable for band aids, and how should different wounds be treated?

Band-aids are relatively common in life, and there are small medicine boxes in the family that must be band-aided, and some people habitually carry band-aids with them, which is convenient to use when injured, so band-aids are a must-have for people in daily life.

Band-aids are medical device products, the main function of the main band-aid is to disinfect the wound and protect the wound.

Although Band-Aids have many effects and are relatively convenient to use, people do not know that not all wounds are suitable for Band-Aids, and improper use of Band-Aids will cause the wound to be infected and worsen and aggravate the condition.

Not all wounds are suitable for band-aids, and how should different wounds be treated?

1. Band-aids only achieve a hemostatic disinfection effect for some small wounds of skin trauma, and band-aids are not suitable for some larger and deeper wounds. When using a band-aid, it should not be hidden too tightly, the wound is not breathable, but it is easy to get secondary infection, especially if the wound site is wrapped too tightly, resulting in obstruction of blood circulation and avascular necrosis.

2. The band-aid only plays a role in compressing and stopping bleeding and preventing infection for mild **trauma, and the wound area is larger than the area of the band-aid, or the wound scratch layer is long and bleeding more, you need to go to the hospital immediately to take other measures**.

3. Animal bites and stinged wounds are also not suitable for using band-aids, because animal bites or stings, the wound may have poisonous juice and germs, if the band-aid is used at this time, it is not conducive to the flow of poisonous juice and germs, but is conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

It can be seen that although band-aids are common in life, not all wounds are suitable for band-aids. A small piece of Band-Aid, improper consumption of troubles will cause serious consequences, so everyone should know more about the use of Band-Aids, and different treatment methods should be taken for different wounds.

Band-aids can not be used for all wounds, but generally small abrasions, especially burns and scalds, can be treated with special drugs and according to the doctor's instructions. There are also some deep wounds that require a doctor to stitch up or do a minor operation, which will get better faster, and some need to take anti-inflammatory drugs or intravenous drips, which have to listen to the doctor, so not all wounds are solved with band-aids.

Some wounds can be treated with gauze, some smaller wounds can be treated with band-aids, and some unimportant wounds can be disinfected.

For example, some large wounds need to be sutured, and small wounds need to be ventilated more and ventilated to recover faster.

When walking in daily life, it is inevitable to encounter bumps, especially in summer, due to the relatively thin wear, a little bump will lead to **breakage, in this case, the first thing many people think of is to put a band-aid on the broken **. Although it is true that a band-aid can protect the broken **, not all wounds can be band-aided.

Generally speaking, if you find that the amount of bleeding from your wound is not particularly large, then at this time, after cleaning, you can put a band-aid on it, but if the bleeding from the wound is particularly large, then it is best not to use a band-aid, otherwise the amount of bleeding is relatively large, and the band-aid cannot be attached, and it cannot effectively stop the bleeding, so in this case, you should go to the hospital in time to seek help from a doctor. In addition, if it is a small wound but a deep wound, a band-aid should not be used.

Although the surface of the wound is relatively small, due to the deep depth, if the wound is not carefully cleaned when cleaning, it is easy to cause some bacteria and foreign bodies to remain in the wound. Therefore, we must pay attention to the fact that in our daily life, we should also observe the use of band-aids, according to the actual situation of the wound. Many people may have the first reaction to wipe the wound clean and apply the band-aid immediately after using the band-aid, which is very wrong.

Before applying a band-aid, the wound on the ** should be disinfected, which can be done with iodophor or hydrogen peroxide. After the disinfection is completed, the band-aid is opened, and the medicine of the band-aid must be aimed at the wound when pasting, so as to protect the wound. Then press the two sides of the band-aid slightly to avoid the band-aid falling off during the action.

Band-aids can be used for shallow and small wounds, while those with deep or large wounds should be treated in the hospital.

It is necessary to pay attention to the disinfection treatment, and then the use of the band-aid, be sure to choose the right location.

A 4-year-old girl in a hospital in Suzhou was admitted to a hospital with a blackened end of the middle finger of her left hand, who had been necrotic for several days and needed to be amputated to prevent her condition from deteriorating. What is surprising is that the girl's fingers are necrotic, just because after the injury, a small band-aid was pasted, and the parents wrapped the cloth strip with a cowhide band to prevent it from falling off.

Due to improper treatment, the blood flow of the fingers is not smooth, and eventually necrosis.

Band-aid is one of the most commonly used surgical drugs in people's lives, commonly known as "hemostatic plaster".

Band-aids are mainly composed of plain cloth, adhesive tape and absorbent pads, which have the functions of hemostasis and protection.

1.The length of the wound should not exceed the width of the band-aid.

It is suitable for cut injuries with neat, clean, superficial incisions, and small incisions that do not require sutures. Before use, the wound should be disinfected, and the wound should be carefully checked for dirt, if there is any unclean or foreign matter, the wound should be cleaned and dried with normal saline.

When applying a band-aid, the wound should be slightly pressurized to compress and stop bleeding.

Pay attention to the protection of the wound, reduce the activity of the wound area, do not get wet, and avoid pollution.

Do not often pinch the wound with your hands to prevent squeezing the wound and avoid the wound from splitting.

Some people may think that a band-aid can be worn for several days, but in reality it cannot be applied for more than 12 hours.

When the wound pain is aggravated, or there is secretion oozing, it should be opened for examination in time; If you find that the wound is red, swollen, oozing and other infections, you should stop using the band-aid and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

1.Small but deep wounds: If the soles of the feet are punctured by nails, if not thoroughly debrided, they can facilitate the growth of anaerobic bacteria, leading to infection or tetanus.

2.Infected wounds: e.g., boils, pustules.

3.Animal bites: This type of wound requires repeated rinsing with soapy water and then exposing the wound.

4.Burns and scalds: This kind of wound is generally a large wound and is not suitable for the use of band-aids, which may cause or aggravate infection.

5.Minor epidermal abrasions: Wipe with medical alcohol or iodophor and expose the wound.

6.Unclean wounds or foreign bodies: Band-aids can worsen the infection or cause the foreign body to remain.

1.Do not wrap the band-aid too tightly when using, especially the fingers and toes, as it is conducive to the growth of anaerobic bacteria, which will increase the probability of infection and tetanus;

2.Do not wrap the arteries of the fingers and toes on both sides, too tight will lead to poor blood circulation, swelling of the wound in mild cases, and may lead to necrosis of the end of the finger (toe) and amputation in severe cases.

3.When we were injured, we quickly put a band-aid on the wound to prevent "banding" - everyone mistakenly thinks that tetanus is caused by "zhaofeng". Tetanus is a bacterium – Clostridium tetani, not "wind".

The use of a band-aid is for a short period of time (short time. It is not an "ointment" for wound healing, and does not play a decisive role in wound healing (except for Yunnan Baiyao Band-Aid), and cannot always play a role in preventing infection for a long time; So: there are many people who have such a misconception now:

The band-aid used has been worn on the affected area in the belief that long-term wear can protect the wound and promote healing, but it is completely wrong. The wound has the humidity of the wound exudate and the temperature of the body temperature in the closed environment of the band-aid, which is easy to breed a large number of bacteria after a long time, especially the soiled band-aid, which delays the healing of the wound. The correct way to deal with it is:

Generally, cuts and abrasions should be dried out of the wound, but the sunlight and flowing air can quickly kill the bacteria on the surface, and the wound will heal quickly under the condition that it will not be infected.
