After that, several procedures can and must be done to assist in the healing process, preventing the injury from worsening and minimizing healing time. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss washing techniques and decontamination solutions, debridement, culture and antimicrobial susceptibility tests, dressings, bandages and wound drainage techniques.
