Having a wound that has been created by undergoing an operation can be very sore. Not only will it be sore but also it needs a lot of care to prevent infection that will in turn slow down the healing process. The latest technology is the pulse lavage.

If there is, a lot of debridement to be done then there really is no use in putting the pressure of the hydrotherapy too low to prevent the patient from experiencing any pain, but no debridement takes place. This is why there are a few other options you can choose to prepare the wound for proper debridement and at the same time apply some pain control. This is how you do it.

If a wound is cared for properly, and an infection is treated as soon as it starts, then there is no reason why a wound should take long to heal. Getting a wound to heal fast will in turn also prevent any infections. This is something that will really work both ways.

Everyone knows that if you have for example an old sports injury, it will be sore when it gets cold. When you have an open wound when it is cold, the chances of the wound healing very fast are very slim, as cold weather does not promote fast healing. This is one concern that many people had about the hydrotherapy that is used on an open wound.

If you have chosen the oral route, you might find that the patient still feels a little pain while you work on the wound. This is because the oral medication does not numb the specific area but will take away some of the pain. Oral pain relievers is not always the most effective route to go, but will certainly help.

The next thing is looking after the wound and doing this kind of hydrotherapy if there is an infection in the wound. Infection in the wound can be very serious. If the infection is not treated, the wound can get bigger and the infection can even spread throughout the body. This is the most effective way to treat that kind of infection.

Some people might find this difficult to do, but it really is very easy to do this. Here is what you do. While you prepare the patient and the wound, take a bottle of saline water, wrap it in a towel and put it right up against the patient.

The doctor will then be able to give you the antibiotic that you can mix with the saline water and then apply it directly to the wound. By using this very direct approach and minimally invasive approach, you can treat the infection directly and this will also prevent the infection from spreading. They also say that by using this kind of approach you will decrease the bio burden on the top surface of that wound and you will also be able to remove the tissue that was infected what the infection.
