27 Mar Put Worry to Rest: SMARTKITS™ Make It Easy to Care for Your Wound

Living with a chronic or post-surgical wound can be an overwhelming and tedious endeavor, often requiring daily attention to ensure the wound does not become infected. Wound care can sometimes feel like a full-time job for those managing healing progress – yet it doesn’t have to be. With SMARTKITS™ from FritzFinn, you’ll find that taking care of your wound is simpler, easier, and delivers faster results – so that you can put your worries to rest and focus on all of life’s other responsibilities!

What are some of the challenges of home wound care?

Wound care is full of challenges, most of which are present whether you are in the hospital or lying on your couch at home. This includes comorbidities like diabetes and some types of infections. 

But the home healthcare setting provides a unique set of wound care challenges. These include a lack of support and resources for wound care. Some patients are also non-compliant with wound care, often because they simply don’t understand what they’re supposed to do. 

Tips for caring for your wound at home

If you’ve been tasked with caring for your own or a loved one’s wound in a home setting, you might be nervous and fearful about what lies ahead. Here are a few simple tips for home wound care that can simplify the process and improve your outcome:

1. Wash your hands. The most important thing you can do is wash your hands before touching your wound to prevent infection. 
2. Keep the wound clean. Follow your provider’s instructions for cleaning the wound. But avoid using peroxide, alcohol, or iodine solutions in the wound, as they can delay healing. 
3. Change your dressing. Wound dressings need to be changed regularly to protect the wound, keep it moist, and promote healing. 
4. Be careful. Protect your wound from injury or trauma by avoiding bumping or touching it. 
5. Watch closely. Watch your wound closely for any signs of infection and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
