Wound is the disruption of tissue integrity due to any external cause. There are two types of wounds, acute and chronic.
Acute wounds are wounds that are formed due to some reasons such as abrasions, burns and cuts and can usually heal within 3-4 weeks. Chronic wounds are bed dependency, circulatory failure, diabetes, etc. These are the wounds that occur as a result of conditions and do not heal for more than 6-8 weeks, and can be long-term or permanent.
Home dressing service is the process of dressing acute or minor wounds caused by injuries and various diseases in the body at regular intervals.
The healing process of wounds varies according to the type of wound. It is important to keep the wound site clean, as infection of the wound site will prolong the healing time and impair the healing. Again, drying of the wound will delay the healing, and dressing the wound in a way that will provide a moist environment will shorten the healing process.
Dressing service should be performed by trained health personnel. Otherwise, it should be kept in mind that unconscious practices on this subject may harm the area where the wound is located and general health.
