Cleaning a bedsore correctly is the most important step in the entire wound care routine. If the wound is not cleaned well, bacteria stay inside and slow the healing process significantly.
The right method is gentle irrigation — use sterile saline solution or clean water and let the flow of liquid flush out debris and bacteria from the wound bed. Never scrub a bedsore. Scrubbing tears the fragile tissue that is actively trying to repair itself.
Avoid alcohol and hydrogen peroxide — both destroy healthy skin cells along with bacteria. After rinsing, pat surrounding skin dry gently without touching the wound itself. Then apply Cimidaxil D+ wound healing spray before placing a fresh bedsore dressing. This no-touch application keeps the wound protected without any contamination risk during the cleaning process.
