WHAT KIND OF WOUNDS DO WE TREAT?
ABRASIONS
These are superficial wounds that occur when the skin rubs against a hard or rough surface. While they may not bleed excessively, it’s crucial to clean them meticulously to prevent bacterial infections.
LACERATIONS
These involve deep cuts or tears in the skin and can vary in depth and length. Such wounds often result in significant bleeding and may require professional medical treatment, including sutures or staples.
AVULSIONS OR SKIN TEARS
These severe wounds occur typically in extreme accidents and involve the tearing away of a large area of skin. Due to the significant trauma involved, these wounds often lead to substantial blood loss and require immediate medical attention. Definitive treatment may require skin grafting of flaps for reconstruction.
BITES
Whether from an animal or another human, bite wounds pose a high risk of infection. These injuries create punctures in the skin and introduce foreign bacteria, making prompt and appropriate treatment essential.
PENETRATION OR PUNCTURE WOUNDS
These are caused by the entry of a pointed object into the skin. While they may not result in significant external bleeding, the risk of internal damage, including to organs, is a concern, especially when the injury involves the face and neck due to numerous important nerves and large blood vessels running in this area.
FACIAL BONE FRACTURES
Facial fractures occur when a strong impact or force causes breaks in facial bones. The complexities of facial anatomy mean that these fractures can affect sight, breathing, and the alignment of teeth, aside from the immediate visible disruption. Immediate and expert care is essential to manage these injuries, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic restoration.
