Wound care at Clínica Hispana Airline, walk-in. A wound that is properly cleaned and properly covered heals better, faster and leaves less of a mark.
What we do
- Thorough cleaning and disinfection, the step most often skipped at home
- Removal of dirt, gravel or debris left inside where you cannot see it
- Assessment of whether [sutures](/services/suturas-heridas) are needed
- A dressing suited to the type of wound
- A **tetanus** booster if it has been more than five years since your last dose and the wound is deep or dirty
- Follow-up review when needed
Why water and a bandage are not enough
The problem is usually not the wound itself but what stays inside it. A wound that closes over trapped dirt ends in infection or an abscess a week later. Cleaning it properly at the start is what keeps you from coming back.
Signs it is getting infected
- Pain that increases instead of easing from the second day on
- Spreading redness
- Heat and firmness around it
- Pus or bad smell
- Fever
- **Red streaks** running from the wound: that gets seen the same day
Wounds that need closer attention
Wounds in people with **diabetes** heal worse and get complicated more easily, especially on the feet. If you have diabetes and get a wound on your foot, even a small painless one, have it looked at soon: painless can mean the nerve no longer warns you.
