Gently loosen compresses from the wound
- To detach an adhered compress from the wound, you can soak the compress with saline solution. Make sure you take the saline solution from the pharmacy for this, it is bottled sterile. Soak the compress properly and let the liquid work for about five minutes. Then carefully try to remove the compress.
- If the saline solution doesn't help, take hydrogen peroxide from a pharmacy. Warning, this foams very strongly when it comes into contact with blood, it doesn't hurt, but you may be frightened. The solution loosens the blood from the wound and the compress practically falls off the wound by itself. Let the solution work for about five minutes before trying to remove the compress.
- Before you put the new compress on the wound, you can put a gauze pad on the wound. This wound pad is provided with an ointment and prevents the compress from sticking.
- To be on the safe side, you can first put some iodine ointment on the wound and then put the gauze pad on the wound, then the compress will no longer stick under any circumstances.
