Band-aid

2018-04-20

As the name suggests, a bandage is applied as soon as a person has a wound. It is the most commonly used surgical medication in people's lives, also known as a "hemostatic plaster", and has hemostatic and wound protection effects. It is composed of a long piece of adhesive tape with a small piece of gauze soaked in medicine attached to it. Due to its structural limitations, the wound possibility patch can only be used for emergency treatment of small wounds, thereby temporarily stopping bleeding and protecting the wound surface, However, it should be noted that the use time should not be too long. If it is used too long, the adhesive tape on the outer layer of the band-aid will not be breathable. This can make the wound and the skin around it white and soften, leading to secondary bacterial infections, which can worsen the wound.

Generally speaking, if there is only a slight skin eruption, it is not necessary to use a bandage. Simply apply it with iodine or alcohol to prevent infection. If you are not at ease, you can also apply a thin layer of purple potion, so that after two or three days or so, the wound can scab and dry, if the skin wound is relatively deep. "If there is no condition for treatment, then use clean water to rinse the wound, and then use a bandage for a simple dressing. However, the wrapping time should not be too long, and it is best not to exceed the current two days.". At the same time, we should seize the time to go to the nearest hospital for regular disinfection treatment to avoid causing unnecessary infection.

Correct usage of band-aids

Band-aids are not suitable for all wounds. Generally, bandages are mainly used for small and shallow wounds, especially for cuts that have neat, clean incisions, few bleeding, and do not require suturing, such as knife cuts, cuts, and glass scratches. For large, deep, and foreign body wounds, it is not advisable to use a bandage. In this case, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner. For contaminated or infected wounds, such as severe skin abrasions, it is not appropriate to use a bandage. Wounds with boils, suppurative infections, and various skin diseases should not be treated with bandages.
