How Do Contaminated Wounds Occur?

Contaminated wounds can occur from various causes including accidents, falls, surgical procedures, or exposure to a dirty environment. They are often classified based on the level of contamination and the time since the injury occurred. Immediate treatment is crucial to prevent the wound from becoming infected. The risk of infection increases with delayed treatment, the presence of foreign bodies, or if the wound is in an area with high bacterial flora, such as the mouth or groin.
