How To Clean A Wound

Wound Care Karen goes BACK TO THE BASICS!! This episode is for anyone with skin. Let's learn how to properly clean your wound (or a loved one's wound, if you're the caregiver...) Topics covered include preparation, pain control, handwashing, and supplies. Karen explains why HYDROGEN PEROXIDE/IODINE/ALCOHOL should NOT be used, and she explains that mild soap and water are a cost-effective solution. Karen recognizes that not everyone has access to costly wound care supplies, so she lists alternatives for just about any situation.
