Wound cleaning is a critical step in wound care management. The process typically involves:
1. Hand hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly before and after wound care. 2. Glove use: Wear sterile gloves to prevent contamination. 3. Irrigation: Use a saline solution to irrigate the wound, removing debris and bacteria. 4. Debridement: Remove necrotic tissue using appropriate techniques (e.g., mechanical, enzymatic). 5. Dressing application: Apply a suitable dressing based on the wound type and exudate level.
