Wound Care




















No, I didn't crash another motorcycle, although the product looks very similar.  This athlete suffered abrasions to the forearm as a result of a skateboard crash, with additional wounds to the hip and hands.  The wound site at the hip is by far the worst, or the deepest, with burns through the dermis layer.  Athlete is being treated with silver sulfadiazine cream, which is used to treat severe burns, and standard bandages/dressings.  Athlete is instructed to wash/rinse nightly with soap and water, and apply new dressings every day.
