Trigger finger

Wound care

One of the most important aspects of surgery is postoperative wound care. The operation went well, however, if you do not do proper postoperative treatment, complications may occur. Such as wound destruction, infection, bleeding, swelling and, most importantly, poor wound healing, leading to unsightly scars.

Injuries

Wound care is not limited to postoperative patients. People who have had injuries, for example after diving, traffic accidents, falls, abrasions - all this can turn into an ulcer. Careful care begins immediately after the accident. Neglecting the wound may cause further problems in the future. In addition to aesthetic problems, functionality can also be affected.
