Step 1:
Clean the wound
After the decision has been made to “stitch or not to stitch,” treatment of most wounds is the same. To begin, thoroughly clean the wound using cold water under pressure to remove any scab and discharge.
STEP 2:
Apply Schreiner’s®
Apply Schreiner’s® liberally to the wound and surrounding area
twice daily. Spraying the surrounding area soothes trauma and keeps flies
away.
STEP 3:
Dress wound properly (if necessary)
Wrapping the wound may be necessary, particularly in the early phase of treatment or if there is bleeding. It is critical that the wound be allowed to "breathe." If you must bandage, use gauze and porous tape, and do not wrap the wound so tight as to prevent adequate circulation.
STEP 4:
Continue to clean wound every third or fourth day
Thoroughly clean the wound with cold water under pressure (a garden hose
with a nozzle attached works great) and remove any new scab. Apply Schreiner's®
twice a day. Continue this treatment until the wound is healed.
