This was so helpful, thank you! You answered questions I couldn't find in my textbook or from reading other online sources (in reference to skin grafts falling under primary delayed) :)
I used to do it with masking tape and loo roll when I was a professional model maker mucking around with the 10A's. Same principle. The risk of infection is the problem. Huge thanks for the excellent information. Would really like to know what the packing material is though. Thank you.
To accelerate wound healing a no contact dressing works well. It is called Podophylus antimicrobial Insole and DermaDomus, both allow oxygen in the wound.
3:08, super glue, living on a boat, superglue is a must have, for cuts, clean wound and take string or sewing string and wrap around finger or arm, any where else, you could tape or have someone hold the string in place, stay outside the wound, ( superglue inside the wound will be a pain getting it out once healed) dab superglue onto each string ,when dry, cut string, you have stitches, Superglue is great also when doing small trim work and you need a third hand for holding the trim
I had a lipo 360 with an extended tummy tuck and 2weeks later I started to develop a big red circle on the top of my incision so the dr gave Anabiotic’s and he reopen me to drain me but in my whole other incision have a rash on top what could that be
I read a Cochrane Review which I chanced on looking for dressings online that there is no strong evidence for packing tunnels in large rapidly-healing anaerobic bacterial abscesses. It seems to me that packing using a methylcellulose ribbon post ABX Tx wicks the exudate reducing the risk of maceration and prevents cavities forming, the benefits outweighing minor discomfort. What is the current protocol being taught in nursing? What's your experience?
I have been taught not to pack a sinus wound because it fails to appear the wound edges and delays healing time. I was told the sinus needs to drain so allowing a a superficial gauze will allow the draining from the sinus tract to be soaked up while the immune system and antibiotics take care of the infection below. Eventually, granulation tissue is laid down and the wound will heal faster thank packing the wound. The packing will always pick up the granulation tissue which is laid down and delay wound healing.
@@sakidafrancis6319 hope you get this but I'm packing my wound with xeroform it's been 4 months I'm still doing the dressing spent 2 weeks in the hospital for weeks on antibiotics so packing is not good? Please explain
@@Nicole-dj3jf packing is not good for deep wounds. It keeps the wound edges apart and delays the healing. Consult with your doctor if you think the would healing is delayed but if it is healing gradually, it may take some time to heal completely
@@sakidafrancis6319 I don't trust my doctor lol how should start this process! Please 🙏 it's not infected and yes when I change my packing skin does come off your 100% right advice please 🙏
