Saline Solution | Benefits for Wound Healing

by Naveen Polapady on Jul 09 2023
Saline solution, also known as saltwater solution, is a safe and effective method for wound care. It closely mimics the body's electrolyte balance and is gentle on the skin. Research from McGill University supports its use for wound cleaning. To use saline solution for wound care, follow these steps: gather supplies, wash hands, clean the wound with mild soap and water, soak a clean gauze or cotton pad in saline solution, gently dab it on the wound, and use a fresh gauze or pad for each application. Seek medical advice for deep or infected wounds, use sterile saline solution to prevent contamination, and follow healthcare provider's instructions. Saline solution helps maintain a clean wound environment, aiding the body's natural healing processes.
