Traumatic wound care
Abrasions, lacerations, skin tears, injuries outside the OR — primary and topical care.
What it is
Traumatic wounds — a sudden break in skin and underlying tissue from mechanical, thermal or chemical injury outside an elective surgical procedure. They include abrasions, lacerations, avulsions, skin tears in older patients, bites, and penetrating injuries.

Initial care principles
Cleansing and assessment
Pressure irrigation with sterile saline. Remove foreign bodies and non-viable tissue.
Closure decision
Clean wound < 6 hours — primary closure. Contaminated, bites, > 6 hours — delayed primary closure or secondary intention.
Tetanus and rabies prophylaxis
Per local protocol. Animal bites — rabies risk assessment, start vaccination.
Topical therapy
Moist environment, microbial-load control. Dressing changes paced to exudate volume.
Flaminal®'s role
Flaminal® fits traumatic wounds managed by secondary intention. Antibiotic-free microbial control is especially useful in wounds with elevated contamination risk. The atraumatic gel removes the repeat-trauma element of dressing changes.
Flaminal Hydro
Abrasions, superficial scrapes, low exudate.
Flaminal Forte
Moderate to heavy exudate.
