Things happen and you accidentally hurt yourself. Managing the wound wrong can make it worse and possibly cause an infection.
Clinical grade wound cleaning and treatment can help prevent that, promoting faster healing, and ensure proper wound care, which supports the overall recovery process.
Klinik Elysiana offers a comprehensive range of services to address various types of wounds and injuries. Whether you have a small cut, a surgical incision, or a more complex wound, we are equipped to provide the appropriate care and treatment tailored to your specific needs.
The appropriate cleaning method depends on the severity and type of wound. Here’s some tips to remember when cleaning wounds.
Puncture Wounds: Apply gentle pressure around the wound to encourage bleeding, which can help expel dirt or debris. Then, clean the surrounding skin with soap and water. Avoid probing the puncture itself.
Abrasions (Road Rash): Rinse the wound with clean running water to remove dirt. You might need tweezers to remove any gravel or particles. Pat the area dry and apply a sterile dressing.
With bigger wounds, professional help from a clinic can ensure that the wound has a lower risk of infection and proper healing.
Cleaning a wound removes dirt, debris, and bacteria that can hinder healing and increase the risk of infection. It also helps:
Reduce inflammation and swelling
Promote new tissue growth
Minimize scarring
We understand the importance of proper wound care in promoting optimal healing. Our skilled healthcare professionals utilize advanced techniques and sterile practices to ensure thorough wound cleaning, removal of debris or foreign objects, and prevention of infection. We prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the process.

At Elysiana Clinic, we take a meticulous approach to wound assessment.
Examination: First, our healthcare professionals carefully evaluate the size, depth, and severity of the wound to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
Cleaning and Bandaging: Next we clean the wound with soap and antibacterial solutions. Dirt and debris will be removed with tweezers if necessary. Once the wound is clean, we identify the proper bandaging materials and dress the wound to protect it from further injury.
Infection Prevention: We have stringent infection control protocols to minimize the risk of wound infections. We use sterile techniques, sterile equipment, and appropriate antimicrobial agents to create a clean and safe environment for wound healing.
