Products that promote wound healing. How do wounds heal? Possible difficulties during treatment

Balanced diet.

In addition to proper care of wound surfaces and postoperative sutures need to know what patients should receive good nutrition in the postoperative period, since the lack of vital substances received by the body from the outside can have an adverse effect on skin repair processes. Nutrition should be easily digestible, rich in proteins, vitamins, microelements, and antioxidants. fiber, but with limited salt. Water diet is also important. Patients should consume at least 1.5-2 liters of fluid per day. However, if surgical dermabrasion was performed on the entire face or in the perioral area, almost before the bandages are removed or the crusts come off, the patient is forced to take food in paste or liquid form. IN otherwise during the act of chewing, they can injure the crusts, into the cracks of which infection can enter, which can lead to deepening of inflammation and the formation of scars.

Balanced diet - important point in the management of patients in the postoperative period, however, the creation optimal conditions tissue repair also requires continued use of internal therapy prescribed in the preoperative period

Internal therapy.

Includes a number of treatment areas to accelerate repair processes. improving the results of surgical interventions, reducing the visibility of scars.

Biologically active additives(dietary supplements): series of dietary supplements Litovit (Russia), Avena (Russia), Biovit (Russia), “Irwin Naturals” (USA). Nature Sunshine Products Inc (USA).

Adaptogens: ginseng, eleutherococcus, echinacea purpurea. Schisandra, zamanika, pantacrine, etc.

Means and methods for improving microcirculation

Synthetic and proliferative activity of cells involved in restoration skin impossible without sufficient oxygen supply to tissues. One of the main directions in postoperative rehabilitation patients, as well as in preoperative preparation, there are methods, means and technologies that help improve the microcirculation of the operating area, strengthen vascular wall, saturating tissues with oxygen, etc. In this regard, drugs that improve microcirculation (teonicol, complamin, nicotinamide, gingo biloba extract, capillary), dietary supplements containing vasoactive drugs are necessary means, both preoperatively and postoperative period.

Hardware technologies that promote circulatory activation are also indicated for the management of such patients. One of these areas is hypoxic therapy.

Interest in hypoxic therapy, which has existed for more than a decade, led to the creation of a treatment method called “normobaric interval therapy.” hypoxic training"(IGT). Its meaning boils down to the fact that the patient breathes air with a low oxygen content (16-9%) at intervals during which he breathes ordinary air containing 20.4-20.9% O2. “Training” means the process during which physiological compensatory mechanisms for hypoxia are trained.

During the IHT course, organs are trained external respiration, blood circulation, hematopoiesis, tissue and molecular mechanisms that ensure the delivery of oxygen to cells and the utilization of oxygen in mitochondria. The body systems are trained to compensate for the decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the inhaled air, its tension in arterial blood and in tissues.

Results of exposure to IHT on the body.

Chemoreceptors react to a decrease in oxygen tension in arterial blood, impulses from which have an exciting effect on the centers of the medulla oblongata, on reticular formation and higher parts of the brain. Stimulated central departments sympathetic nervous system and functions endocrine glands: the content of thyroid hormones, insulin, catecholamines in the blood increases. The hemoglobin content in the blood increases and its oxygen capacity, the number of red blood cells in the circulating blood, the number of mitochondria and cristae in mitochondria increases; the number of capillaries in tissues increases. Thus, IHT helps to increase immunity, improve blood supply to tissues and skin, relieve hypoxia, which improves reparative processes in the wound in the postoperative period, accelerates epithelization and prevents pathological scars. To implement IHT, a modern hypoxicator apparatus from TRADE MEDICAL was created, which converts ordinary room air into hypoxic gas mixtures with the desired oxygen content in them. For complex diagnostics the state of the patient’s body before and after the course of IHT, the device is equipped with a pulse oximeter, a value meter and a gas analyzer. Small dimensions, compactness, and easy ability to move to the right place make the hypoxicator an easily and reliably functioning device for the therapy and rehabilitation of burn patients, patients after dermabrasion and plastic surgery. Moreover, it can be used in preoperative preparation patients and in many areas of rehabilitation medicine.

To improve overall and local immunity Patients in the postoperative period benefit from the administration of essential microelements, which include Cu, Zn, Se, Fe, Mn, K, Ca, Si, etc.

Rare earth metals are an essential ingredient for normal wound healing. They are prescribed either in tablet form or in the form of nutritional supplements.

Iron. Found in mitochondria and other organelles of skin cells, where it is part of oxidative enzymes (peroxidase, cytochrome oxidase, etc.), providing cellular respiration. Takes part in the synthesis of collagen, is part of hemoglobin, thereby taking part in saturating the body with oxygen. Necessary for successful hydroxylation of proline residues. It is better absorbed in the form of iron lactate.

Preparations: actiferrin (iron sulfate), actiferrin compositum, hemopher prolagngatum (ferrous sulfate), additive with iron (complex effervescent tablets containing ferrous gluconate, ascorbic acid, vitamin B12), Gyno-Tardiferon (iron and folic acid complex).

Copper. As a coenzyme, it is included in many enzymes. Takes part in the absorption of iron, is necessary for the synthesis of melanin and collagen, and has antioxidant properties. There is evidence of antagonism between copper and zinc; therefore, it is undesirable to prescribe them together.

Preparations: Copper sulfate (copper sulfate) is prescribed orally, 5-15 drops of a 05-1% solution for 1-2 months. Copper-containing multivitamin complexes(“Multivitamins with minerals”, “Unicap”, etc.)

Potassium. Necessary for the life of any cell in the body, being present in large quantities in intracellular fluid, participates in synaptic transmission nerve impulses, helps to normalize the drainage function of organs and tissues.

Preparations: panangin ( complex drug potassium and magnesium), potassium orotate, asparkam, calinor, calyposis prolongatum (potassium chloride).

Magnesium. It is an activator of many enzymes: cholinesterase, phosphatase, etc. It is part of more than 300 enzyme complexes, ensuring their activity. It promotes protein synthesis, is necessary to maintain the normal state of cell membranes, and reduces the excitability of the neuromuscular systems. Possesses antispasmodic effect, accelerates the progress of glycolysis. Synthesis steroid hormones also carried out in the presence of magnesium. Potassium and magnesium are needed to ensure collagenase activity.

Preparations: almagel, pamaton (potassium and magnesium aspartate), magnesium orotate, magnesium peroxide, Magne B6.

Phosphorus. Contained in the skin mainly in the form organic compounds: phosphoproteins, nucleoproteins, phospholipids, etc. The content of intracellular phosphorus is 40 times higher than extracellular. As part of phospholipids, it is part of the structure of cell membranes and lipoproteins. Absolutely necessary element high-energy compounds and their derivatives, cyclic nucleotides, coenzymes that play a critical role in metabolism and regulation physiological functions.

Preparations: Phosphaden. ATP.

Zinc. It is an important auxiliary factor in wound healing, being an activator of cellular immunity. It is part of many enzymes, hormones, and is necessary for proliferative processes in tissues. Helps stabilize blood sugar levels and accelerates glycolysis. Zinc ions have antioxidant and immunostimulating properties. promote reparative processes in tissues. With age, the amount of zinc in tissues decreases sharply and also occurs during injury. sharp decrease amount of zinc, which indicates the need for replacement therapy. Vital hormones such as insulin, corticotropin, somatotropin, and gonadotropin are zinc-dependent. Zinc deficiency is accompanied by a decrease in immunity, proliferative and synthetic activity of cells. Zinc preparations are prescribed for long-term non-healing wounds, trophic ulcers, acne, skin conditions after deep peeling and dermabrasion, aesthetic surgeries, as prophylactic before surgical interventions.

Preparations: oxyrich (zinc aspartate), zinkteral, zinkrotate. Zinc oxide or sulfate, use 0.02-0.05 g 2-3 times a day, for at least a month. Multivitamin preparations containing zinc: “Stress formula with zinc”, “Oligovit”, “Centrum”.

Selenium. Takes part in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans, is a powerful antioxidant, a cofactor of the enzyme glutadione peroxidase. Without it, the enzyme is in an inactive state and cannot reduce oxidized glutadione and thus counteract oxidative stress.

Preparations:“Selmevit”, “Multi-selenium”, “Stress formula with zinc”, “Oligogal-selenium”.

Silicon. Participates in the formation of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, elastin, stimulates cellular metabolism and the proliferative ability of cells, normalizes skin hydration, increases the strength of elastic fibers, and has an anti-radical effect.

Preparations: organic silicon (0.5%,1%,2% 5.0), conjonctyl (0.5% -5.0) for intradermal and intramuscular administration.

In the life of every person, annoying troubles happen: abrasions, cuts, bruises. Besides the pain and discomfort, injuries are accompanied cosmetic defect. In our article we will talk about how to speed up wound healing and maintain the beauty of the skin. Wound healing is natural physiological process which is called regeneration. This process is inherent in nature itself, and great amount The body's reserves are aimed specifically at healing all types of damage.

In the lower layers of the skin - the basal layer of the epidermis - reserve cells are located. When the skin and underlying structures are damaged: fiber, muscles and other tissues, reserve cells begin to divide, forming new skin cells. Gradually multiplying, new cells form new tissues and fill wound defects.

Tissue regeneration is a very individual process that depends on many internal and external factors:

• Age;
• The presence of diseases of the skin, endocrine and immune system;
• Vastness and depth wound surface;
• The presence of foreign bodies in the wound;
• Presence of wound infection;
• Quality and speed of primary wound treatment;
• Features and thoroughness of wound care.

Wounds heal poorly in older people, weakened and poorly nourished patients, people with diabetes mellitus and diseases of the immune system (HIV, AIDS, hereditary immunodeficiencies).

Wounds on the legs do not heal well in patients with varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Moreover, CVI itself can provoke the formation of wounds on the legs. Such non-healing wounds are called trophic ulcers.

Primary or secondary infected wounds also heal very poorly. Such wound defects are penetrated pathogenic microbes– immediately at the time of injury or after some time.

The scientific name for “poor healing” is “healing by secondary intention.” This means that the wound defect heals through the processes of suppuration or tissue rejection. In this case, gross skin changes are formed - keloid scars.

Principles

Let us list in detail all the factors that determine the speed and quality of regenerative processes.

First aid. High-quality and timely provision of first aid is very important. First aid includes washing the wound with antiseptic solutions (Chlorhexidine, Miramistin, hydrogen peroxide, Mucosanin and others), treating the edges of the wound with alcohol solutions (iodine, brilliant green, chlorophyllipt and others) and applying a sterile bandage.

First health care consists in the so-called primary surgical treatment or toilet of the wound. Treatment of wounds is the task of a surgeon or traumatologist. The doctor treats the wound with antiseptics and removes foreign bodies, blood clots, dead tissue and dirt, stitches as necessary.

It is very important to apply sutures on cut wounds, since bringing the edges of the wound together suture material or special glue significantly improves healing and leaves a neat, thin scar.

Preventing wound infections. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe antibacterial drugs general or local action. With small and not deep wounds with proper treatment, antibiotics may not be prescribed. In any case, the decision about the need to take antibiotics rests with the doctor.

Follow-up wound care. It is very important to regularly change bandages, keep the wound clean and dry, and also treat the wound surface with antiseptics and special healing agents.

About what medications and folk remedies accelerate regeneration and how to quickly heal a wound, we will talk below.

Drugs

Treatment of wounds is prescribed by the doctor, taking into account the nature, extent and type of wound surface. Let's take a closer look at how wound healing products work and how to speed up the process with pharmaceutical drugs.

Most often, to activate regeneration processes they use local remedies: ointments, gels, creams, powders.

I would like to immediately note that fat-based products are strictly not recommended for use on wet, weeping wounds. This does not speed up, but rather slows down the wound healing process.

Sea buckthorn oil is a natural component. Sea buckthorn oil contains a huge amount of vitamins and biologically active substances, which accelerate cell recovery processes.

Aloe extract also works great for skin damage, accelerating epithelization. Aloe extract also provides an analgesic effect and reduces the feeling of burning and tightness of the skin.

Methyluracil ointment has anabolic properties and accelerates processes cellular regeneration, wound healing, increases the activity of local immunity, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Dexpanthenol and its various combinations with vitamin E and medicinal plant extracts. The product stimulates regenerative processes mucous membranes and skin, accelerates cell division, increases the density of collagen fibers, and also normalizes cellular metabolism. The medicine penetrates perfectly into the deep layers of the skin.

Actovegin and Solcoseryl are widely known drugs used in all areas of medicine. Actovegin and Solcoseryl ointments significantly accelerate the wound healing process by increasing cellular energy metabolism - that is, they work at the very heart of regeneration processes.

Contratubeks – combination remedy, stated by the manufacturer to prevent the formation of rough keloid scars. The main effect of the drug is based on suppressing the activity of cells producing connective tissue, forming the basis of the keloid scar.

I would like to immediately note that the product exhibits its effect only at the initial stage of regeneration. Treatment with ointment on old scars, contrary to advertising, is useless.

Curiosin drops and cream. Zinc hyaluronate, which is part of the drug, eliminates the deficiency of hyaluronic acid in the skin. This acid is a kind of supporting matrix for skin cells.

The product replaces the tissue defect and causes an acceleration of epidermal cell division. Hyaluronate also stimulates the skin's natural defense mechanisms. Zinc ions, in turn, have antibacterial effect. Curiosin drops work well on wet wounds, burns and other weeping skin lesions.

Various combination drugs based on polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins E and A, extracts of sea buckthorn, rose hips and others medicinal components(ointments Reparef-1 and 2 and others).

Powders and “dry” creams on a fat-free basis, containing zinc oxide, salicylic acid, bismuth oxide, oak bark powder, calamus root and other astringent and drying components, as well as antibiotics, work great with wet and weeping wounds. Examples of such products are powders Baneocin, Xeroform, Ambulance, ointment with zinc oxide and even banal baby powder for diapers.

Physiotherapy or treatment natural factors in some cases it gives an excellent effect. Most therapy methods have an accelerating effect on cell metabolism, improve blood supply to the lesion and stimulate local immune processes.

Most effective methods physiotherapy to accelerate regeneration are laser therapy, darsonvalization of tissues, UHF, thermal procedures, ultraviolet irradiation, massage and drug electrophoresis. I would like to immediately note that any methods of physiotherapy are used on already healing wounds after the formation of primary epithelialization.

Folk recipes

Very many medicinal plants contain components that can enhance the healing effect. Such grandmother's remedies include various decoctions and lotions based on chamomile, calendula, oak bark, celandine, comfrey, tea tree oil.

A proven means for healing wounds is mumiyo, as well as beekeeping products - bee bread, propolis and various honey-based products.

Treatment with herbs and others traditional methods should only occur with the permission of a doctor, and only as a additional funds therapy. And before using any product, you need to make sure that you are not allergic to it.

For diabetes (video)

Hardly anyone wants to get injuries and wounds on purpose, but many people get them. The risk group includes athletes, people of certain professions, hyperactive children and adolescents; In addition, unfortunately, the cause of injuries is often a simple failure to comply with life safety rules. But here we will not talk about how to avoid injuries and wounds, but about how to heal them faster if they have already appeared.

Means for rapid wound healing

If you immediately treat the wound correctly and treat it correctly, then recovery will go quickly: this must be done as quickly as possible, but carefully, without touching the wound itself, but removing all dead tissue and dirt from it.

Of course, you should consult a doctor, and if there are deep enough wounds or cuts, this must be done - it is better if first aid is provided by a specialist, and if necessary, he will apply stitches and teach how to handle them.

If you can’t see a doctor immediately, you need to treat the skin around the wound with the antiseptic that you have on hand: brilliant green, iodine, etc., and apply a sterile temporary bandage, but no less than 2 hours later you need to do the dressing according to all the rules. In order for the wound to heal quickly and correctly, it must be treated, and for this you need to have everything you need at home: bandages, tools - scissors and tweezers, treated with alcohol; antiseptic solutions and wound healing drugs.

Wounds should be bandaged 1-2 times a day; Dry and wet wounds are treated with different means.

If the wound needs to be washed, use a solution of furatsilin, hydrogen peroxide or other aqueous solutions of antiseptics; if the wound is inflamed, you should immediately consult a doctor; if not, continue usual treatment gradually, using wound healing products.

The main properties of such products are the absence of toxic components, the ability to stimulate the processes of cell regeneration and collagen formation, and quickly deliver oxygen and glucose to cells. If the wound is wet, do not use ointment - the product should be in the form of jelly: it does not stop healing, while ointment with fatty components forms a film, preventing fluid from being released from the damaged surface.

Jelly is replaced with ointment when the wound gradually turns dry - it is better to take one drug, but in a different dosage form. Now the wound needs a protective film, under which it will heal better without being exposed to external environment- here you can even remove the bandage. If you can’t remove it completely yet, you can apply it not immediately after treatment, but after 2-3 hours, and gradually increase this time - this way the tissues will still heal faster.

Healing remedies can be pharmaceutical or traditional - in any case, they must be prescribed by a doctor.

Pharmacy wound healing products

From pharmaceuticals Preparations with vitamins or provitamins are often used: for example, retinol acetate or dexpanthenol - provitamin B5. These products come in the form of ointments, creams or lotions, but not in jelly form, so they are not suitable for treating wet wounds.

Preparations containing methyluracil have an anti-inflammatory effect and stimulate cellular immunity, so wounds heal quickly, but they can only be used on dry wounds - they are also not available in jelly form.

In the 90s, a drug called universal by many doctors began to be produced in Moscow - Eplan. This remedy treats dermatitis, burns, ulcers, radiation injuries, has pronounced regenerating properties and heals wounds - it is produced by Oberon JSC. First of all, the drug actively destroys microbes and increases the activity of phagocytes, so it can be used to treat fresh wounds, but it cannot be applied to bleeding wounds - it is an anticoagulant and can reduce clotting.
Eplan quickly clears wounds of infection, and at the same time does not create barriers to the flow of oxygen into them; There are no toxins, hormones or antibiotics in it. It is produced in the form of a solution, liniment and cream.

Around the same time, the Swiss company Nycomed created a drug based on the blood extract of dairy calves - Solcoseryl, produced in the form of ointment and jelly (its analogue is Actovegin, and it is also available in these forms), and perfectly heals any wounds. It can be used as initial stages- in the form of jelly, and during the period of wound granulation - in the form of ointment.
Solcoseryl protects the wound, prevents germs from penetrating, accelerates metabolism and regeneration processes, and even relieves pain - you need to use it 2-3 times a day, and healing will proceed quickly and without complications.

Folk remedies for wound healing

Folk remedies are used along with pharmaceutical ones, if recommended by a doctor, or when the wounds are minor and not serious.

It happens that the wound is small, but does not heal for a long time, and may even fester - resin resin will help cure it coniferous trees. It is better to collect resin in late spring - early summer, from smooth, strong mature trees - there is no need to make notches. The collected resin is melted and mixed 1:1 with pure butter - it is better to prepare it yourself: beat 0.5 liters of fresh and full-fat village milk in a blender and collect the butter. The resulting mixture is applied to the wound 2 times a day - it heals within a few days.

If you immediately lubricate a fresh abrasion with pure resin-resin from pine, spruce, fir, it will heal very quickly.

For the treatment of abscesses, ulcers, cuts, abrasions, boils, an ointment is prepared from spruce resin, sunflower oil, honey and wax. The ingredients are taken equally, melted in a water bath, mixed and used to lubricate sore spots.

For wounds that do not heal for a long time, there is another effective remedy - ointment made from burdock and celandine. Crushed celandine and burdock roots (20 and 30 g each) are poured into 100 ml of sunflower oil and boiled for 15 minutes over low heat, removed, filtered, cooled and applied to sore spots several times a day - after a week the wounds usually heal.

Propolis has long been known for its healing properties - you can also cook with it homemade ointment for wound healing. You can take any fat base - vegetable or butter, fish or pork fat(5 parts), bring it to a boil in a saucepan and add crushed propolis (1 part). Continue cooking for half an hour, stirring, at 80°C, then strain through cheesecloth, cool and use. You can store the ointment in the refrigerator for a whole year.

Homemade wound balm with juniper tar, turpentine (100 g each), yolks and rose oil (1 tbsp). The butter is ground with two fresh yolks, and then purified turpentine is gradually added, 1 tsp at a time, with constant stirring - otherwise the mixture will curdle. Then add tar and mix everything thoroughly. The resulting balm is carefully poured over the wounds, scooping it up with a teaspoon.

Rose oil can also be made at home: pour olive oil (1 cup) into fresh garden rose petals (2 cups), close the container tightly and place in a dark place for 2-3 weeks. The mixture is stirred periodically, then filtered and used.

Poorly healing wounds and ulcers are sprinkled with willow bark powder- You can buy it at a herbal pharmacy. Willow has hemostatic, antiseptic and wound-healing properties; You can take the powder orally, especially during fever and fever - 1 g after meals, 3 times a day.

TO fresh wounds apply compresses with tincture of nettle leaves. Fresh leaves Place loosely in a 0.5 liter bottle or jar almost to the top, fill with 70% alcohol and place in the sun for a week. Strain the resulting tincture and wash the wounds with it before applying a bandage.
Nettle contains many substances that have hemostatic, wound healing and analgesic effects, so it fresh juice You can pour the wounds, or apply napkins soaked in juice to them.

Yarrow also has similar properties: it promotes blood clotting, destroys microbes, relieves inflammation and pain - its juice can also be poured onto wounds, or a bandage with fresh herbs crushed into a pulp can be applied to them.

Wound healing is accelerated not only due to local impact- It is very important what our entire body feeds on. For example, the drug Oxyprolan can be used both externally, in the form of a cream, and internally, in the form of a dietary supplement - it also stimulates the production of collagen and accelerates regeneration processes in tissues.

In addition, the diet should contain a lot of natural lean protein and vitamins: fresh dairy products, meat and fish, fruits and vegetables.

Despite receiving various injuries and we don’t want wounds at all, no one is immune from this. It is very important to know what products can be used for fast healing wounds, including traditional medicine

Means for rapid wound healing

Quite a lot of people receive various injuries and wounds. Everyone is susceptible to this and no one is insured against accidents resulting in abrasions, wounds, etc. Most often, children, teenagers, and, of course, people who are actively involved in sports get wounds. The reasons for this may be different, so everyone should know what means promote rapid wound healing.

Wound healing is a rather complex and often long process that demonstrates the human body’s ability to regenerate and restore. Fortunately, there are many various means, thanks to which the wound healing process can be accelerated and at the same time prevent complications. Of course, not a single wound will heal in a couple of days, since the process of its healing proceeds directly according to the laws of our body and, depending on what happens in it, the wounds will also heal.

The healing time of wounds largely depends on the state of the human body, immunity, the presence of diseases and much more. For our part, we can only help our body go through all stages of wound healing as quickly as possible. But to do this, you need to know what affects the rate of wound healing.

External factors affecting wound healing

If you treat the wound immediately and do it correctly, and then select correct treatment, then perhaps your recovery will go faster. It is necessary to treat the wound immediately after it appears, but this must be done very carefully. Dirt and dead tissue must be removed from it immediately, but the wound itself must not be touched.

It is advisable to immediately consult a doctor after treatment, and if the wound is deep, then this is simply necessary. It will be better if first aid is provided by a specialist, since stitches may be necessary, and doing this yourself is strictly prohibited.

If you see that the wound is not deep and not serious, and you think that you can handle the treatment on your own, treat the skin around the wound with any antiseptic, apply a sterile bandage for the first time, and after a couple of hours, be sure to change the dressing. Make sure that you have bandages, tweezers and scissors at home, which must be constantly treated with alcohol, drugs that promote wound healing and antiseptic solutions.

Keep in home medicine cabinet bandages and plasters in case of wounds

Important to know about wound healing

Wound healing directly depends on factors such as the condition of the body as a whole and the presence of diseases. The wound will heal quickly if the body has enough resources for this, including high immunity. But everyone’s body is different, so immunity can be weakened by various reasons. If you have chronic diseases that slow down the wound healing process, you should not expect a quick effect.

Even if you are completely healthy and have good immunity, at improper treatment wounds and the skin around it, it will still heal more slowly.

Intrinsic factors that slow wound healing

There are a number of diseases in which wounds will heal slowly:

diabetes;

• obesity;

  dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis;

  liver and kidney failure;

  exhaustion of the body (including those caused by diets);

  hypovitaminosis;

  immunodeficiency;

  oncological diseases.

Also to internal factors can be attributed to the state of the body after chemotherapy, and the body of a smoker. Therefore, when healing is slow, it is necessary to undergo an examination in order to identify the reasons for this. The disease must be treated or taken into account when treating wounds, otherwise they will take a long time to heal.

Other factors affecting wound healing

The following factors also have an important influence on the rate of wound healing:

regularity of dressings (must be done once or twice a day, depending on the type of wound and what agent is used to heal it);

regular treatment of the skin around the wound (to prevent infection);

sterility of dressing materials, cleanliness of instruments used (prevention of infection);

correctly chosen remedy that accelerates healing (should include active substance, which stimulates healing and improves tissue nutrition in the wound area);

when choosing medicine– correct accounting of the state of the injury (use jelly products while the wound is still wet, but when the wound begins to dry out, use ointment products).

With proper wound management, wound healing can be achieved as quickly as possible. But to do this, you need to know the rules for caring for such an injury and be able to distinguish a wet wound from a dry one in order to choose the most suitable one. effective forms wound healing agents.

Rules for wound care in the first hours

For wound healing to occur in as soon as possible, it is necessary to carefully treat the wound area as quickly as possible after its occurrence. In this case, it is necessary to carefully, without touching the wound itself, remove all non-viable areas and foreign bodies from it.

If the injury (cut) is large, deep, and especially if it is located on the face, you should consult a doctor. First aid is usually provided in emergency rooms. There the surgeon will do the so-called primary surgical treatment, if possible, refreshing the edges of the wound so that healing begins as quickly as possible.

If stitches have been placed, in the future it will be enough only to lubricate the wound area alcohol solution iodine, brilliant green or just alcohol for speedy healing. Peeling off the crusts is strictly prohibited. Usually, the doctor removes them 5-6 days after the stitches are applied.

If it is not possible to carry out primary surgical treatment immediately, or there is no need for it, immediately after the wound the skin around the wound should be lubricated with any alcohol-containing antiseptic ( boric alcohol, salicylic acid, 5% alcohol solution of iodine, brilliant green), apply a clean (preferably sterile) bandage and carry out a full dressing within a maximum of two hours. If the injury is in the form of an abrasion, blood will ooze from it. This bleeding usually stops under a regular bandage within a few minutes. If the bleeding is severe, it is necessary to apply pressure bandage.

How to achieve fast wound healing?

After providing such first aid, we can say that at this stage we have done everything to ensure that wound healing begins as soon as possible. But any injury must be treated. We often do this at home. To do this, you need to prepare a sterile dressing, instruments treated with alcohol (usually tweezers and scissors are enough), water and alcohol solutions of antiseptics, a wound healing agent.

The wound should be bandaged and treated 1-2 times a day. This is usually done in the morning and evening. Before dressing, you should thoroughly wash your hands with soap, dry them with a clean towel and treat them with any special disinfection solution. After removing the bandage, you need to treat the skin around the wound with an alcohol-based antiseptic solution and inspect the damage.

If the surface of the injury is moist, pink, and easily damaged, such a wound is moist. If it is dry, with crusts and cracks, it is a dry wound. It is important to distinguish a wet wound from a dry one, since in such cases they use different means for wound healing.

So, after inspection, the damage should be treated aqueous solution antiseptic (hydrogen peroxide, furacillin solution, miramistin, etc.), thoroughly washing the wound and thus removing all non-viable tissue from it and disinfecting it. If there are no signs of inflammation, you should use a wound healing agent. Such a product should be non-toxic, effective stimulator of cell growth and collagen production, as well as the delivery of oxygen and glucose to cells. This wound healing agent can only be applied to a wet wound in the form of a jelly. The ointment cannot be used at this stage of the wound process: the fatty film stops the rapid healing of the wound due to disruption of tissue nutrition and disruption of the release of fluid from the surface of the injury.

Each dressing change must be accompanied by an examination. After all, when the wound begins to dry out, it will be necessary to replace the healing agent in the form of jelly with another dosage form- and ointment. For the fastest healing of wounds, it is best when the active ingredient of the wound healing agent remains the same, but only the form of release of the drug changes. The ointment will create a protective film on the wound and protect it from external factors. At this stage, it is possible to cancel the bandage, or you can apply a bandage 2-3 hours after treating the injury. Gradually, the duration of wound management without a bandage can be increased. This will speed up wound healing as much as possible.

In addition to local treatment, do not forget that wound healing is influenced by our diet. In order for healing to proceed quickly, you need to eat fortified and protein foods - vegetables, fruits, lean fish and meat, lean fermented milk products.
