Experts shows the way to make open wounds to heal faster

News24xx.com - Open wounds on the skin surface are common. It's just that this wound is often negligible and tends to be untreated because it is considered as a minor injury. Many people are reluctant to treat the wound because they are lazy or do not want to feel pain.

In fact, according to specialist surgeon Adi Saputra Ramadhinara actually wound care can be done without pain but still effectively heals wounds. "In the medical world, it is recommended that wound cleansing solutions containing Polyhexamethylene Biguanide or PHMB contain no painful sensation, more comfortable and effective" he said during the Hansaplast event at Ciputra Artpreneur, Lotte Shopping Avenue, South Jakarta, Wednesday, September 5th 2018.

According to him, the stage of cleaning the wound is an important step in the treatment so that it needs a safe antiseptic fluid for the tissue. PHMB is an antiseptic substance that is widely used by doctors. Besides being comfortable and effective, said Adi, PHMB does not have color so it does not change the condition of the patient's wound and does not interfere with the examination process.

Generally, people clean wounds with alcohol because they are considered to be able to clean germs. Apparently this assumption is false because alcohol is one type of disinfectant and can inhibit tissue recovery.

After the wound is cleaned with an antiseptic, you should close the wound. Even at this stage, there are still many who consider the wound to be closed for a long time. Even though this is also not true. "Open wounds provide a high chance of bacterial contamination. Research in 1962 proved that wounds that are closed will heal faster than those not. In 1963 tried on humans and the results were the same" Adi explained.
