Non-healing wounds require different treatments

Wounds that do not heal require different treatments because different types of wounds and different causes of nonhealing require different treatment strategies.

Here are some possible causes of wound non-healing and corresponding treatments:

It is generally recommended that such wounds pay attention to cleaning and disinfection of the wound, and antibiotics can be used if necessary. It can kill bacteria and accelerate the wound. heal. If the wound is too large and there is a lot of pus, a drainage tube should be placed in the wound to guide the fluid out of the wound. This helps reduce pain and promote wound healing. Silver-containing dressings can also be used. Silver Ion Dressing can accelerate wound healing and has a certain bactericidal effect on wound surface bacteria. Specifically, silver ions can kill or inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria through electrostatic adsorption and chemical reactions, thereby contributing to wound healing. In addition, silver ions can also promote cell proliferation and repair, thereby accelerating wound healing.

When using a silver ion dressing, the wound needs to be cleaned first, and then a layer of silver ion dressing should be applied. Silver ion dressings can be used in daily cleaning and disinfection, and can be used on different types of wounds, including superficial wounds, deep wounds, and post-surgical wounds. However, it should be noted that silver ion dressings cannot be used for a long time to avoid drug resistance to bacteria.

Malnutrition: Malnutrition may also cause wounds not to heal. In this case, your doctor may recommend that you increase your intake of protein and vitamins to help the wound repair. Some doctors may recommend oral or topical protein and vitamin supplements.
