Surgical Wound Care

Surgical wound care involves properly cleaning and protecting your incision or surgical site to promote healing and prevent infection. This includes following your healthcare provider’s instructions on keeping the area clean and dry, changing dressings as directed, and watching for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Proper care helps wounds heal faster and reduces complications. It’s important to practice good hygiene and notify your healthcare provider if you notice any concerning symptoms or if the wound doesn’t seem to be healing. Consistent, careful care supports a smooth recovery process.
