How to fill out basic laceration repair

How to fill out basic laceration repair:

1. Prepare the area: Cleanse the wound by gently rinsing it with mild soap and water. Pat the area dry with a clean towel or gauze.
2. Assess the wound: Determine the size, depth, and location of the laceration. If the wound appears deep or has jagged edges, it may require medical attention.
3. Apply antiseptic: Apply an appropriate antiseptic solution, such as hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine, to the surrounding skin to reduce the risk of infection.
4. Control bleeding: Apply gentle pressure to the wound using a sterile gauze pad or clean cloth. Elevating the affected area above heart level can also help minimize bleeding.

6. Dress the wound: Cover the laceration with a sterile adhesive bandage or sterile gauze pad. Use medical tape or adhesive strips to secure the dressing in place.
