Question 6

what are best over-the-counter products i can use for wound care?

OTC Wound Care: 98% (a cynical guess) of the products that we use in wound care, including those otc  are sterile when you open the package.

Accepted Answer

Wound care: The question is rather general so let me give you a general response. First, you want to stabilize any infection, second you want to promote wound bed growth from the base of the wound. There are tons of variables to this and if you have a wound that's not healing, you should see a specialist as wounds can turn into a septic situation quickly.

Wound care: Coloplast sheets can be helpful. Wound care needs a team and frequent visits. As your wound heals, the products used will likely be changed and modified.
