wounds essentials
patienteducation
Clean, covered, protected — the 3-word rule for helping any wound heal faster.
Wound Essentials breaks down what a wound actually is, the four stages your body uses to heal it, and the simple home routine that works: rinse with water, cover with a dressing, keep it slightly moist, and leave scabs alone. It also flags the warning signs of infection — spreading redness, pus, fever, or red streaks — and the slow-healing wounds like pressure sores and foot ulcers that need a clinician, not DIY care.
