TREATMENT OF ABRASIONS. USE OF EPLUN FOR THE TREATMENT OF SUPERFICIAL SKIN ABRASIONS

An abrasion is a skin injury in which there is usually no bleeding, but there is redness, swelling and scratches.

You should have medications in your first aid kit that will be effective and safe for both adults and children.

3. Apply EPLUN cream or solution to the abrasion and apply a sterile gauze bandage or seal the wound with a patch. If the abrasion is deep and begins to bleed, it is recommended to cover the abrasion with a pressure bandage.

Compliance with these measures will eliminate possible risks of infection and inflammation of tissues. The application of a bandage is necessary to ensure the sterility of the wound.

Such products retain antibacterial properties longer, which eliminates the need for frequent bandaging, reduces material costs and reduces discomfort for the victim. It is recommended to use wipes "EPLUN" for "100 wounds" for the treatment of large or painful wounds and abrasions.

Superficial abrasions are associated with damage to only the upper layer of the skin, redness and swelling are observed. Such an injury heals quickly.
