In the field of medical care, sinus wounds, as a special type of wound, pose challenges to the patient's recovery. In order to help readers better understand and treat sinus wounds, the following will introduce in detail the basic concepts, causes, and care points of sinus wounds, and focus on the operation and suggestions of alginate dressings in sinus wound care.

What is a sinus wound?

Sinus wounds are a type of tube-like wound with an external opening on the skin surface and a tube inside. It is not connected to the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, etc., and has no internal opening. It usually manifests as a small sore leading to the body, and the internal wound cannot be seen with the naked eye. Sinus tracts are mostly caused by trauma, infection, and postoperative factors. After surgery, it is often caused by infection, rejection reactions, etc. caused by guide wires, sutures, internal fixators, etc., which manifests as partial wounds that fail to heal on schedule, small sores on the skin with tubes inside, and secretions often flow out. The sores can be temporarily closed, but they do not heal for a long time and rupture repeatedly.

In the care of sinus wounds?

1. Wound cleaning: Use a physiological saline solution to clean the skin around the wound to ensure a sterile environment. Avoid using strong irritating disinfectants to avoid aggravating wound damage.

2. Choose the right dressing: Choose the right dressing according to the wound condition. For sinus wounds, it is recommended to use dressings with high absorption properties that can promote wound healing, such as alginate dressings.

3. Change the dressing regularly: Change the dressing regularly according to the doctor's instructions to avoid infection or allergies caused by long-term use. Pay attention to aseptic operation when changing the dressing to avoid cross-infection.

Which dressing is better for sinus wound care?

Alginate dressing is a high-tech medical dressing derived from natural seaweed. It has excellent absorption capacity and can absorb a large amount of exudate vertically. It fits tightly to the wound, not only filling and supporting deep wounds, but also effectively draining exudate from deep cavities. Alginate dressing can also create a moist environment for wound healing, which is conducive to the growth of granulation tissue and reduces the risk of wound infection.

Correct operation steps :

1. Wound preparation: Before using alginate dressings, you first need to clean the wound and make sure the surrounding skin is dry. Use saline or other liquids to clean the wound and gently wipe it dry with sterile gauze.

2. Dressing placement: Place the alginate dressing properly on the wound surface, making sure that the dressing fits tightly to the wound without any gaps. For sinus wounds, alginate dressing strips or sheets can be used, cut, and filled according to the shape and size of the wound.

3. Fix the dressing: Use medical bandages or breathable tape to fix the dressing to prevent it from shifting or falling off. When fixing, pay attention to moderate force to avoid excessive tightening that affects blood circulation.

4. Replacement: Observe the wound regularly. If there is any abnormality (such as increased exudation, increased pain, increased redness around the wound, etc.), seek medical attention immediately. Change the dressing regularly according to the wound exudate and doctor's advice to avoid infection or allergies caused by long-term use.
