Finger joint wounds won't heal? Try these tips!

Finger joints are often difficult to heal once injured due to frequent activities. Long-term wounds that do not heal not only affect daily life but may also cause more serious problems such as infection. As a manufacturer of wound dressings and ostomy bags, we are well aware of the importance of wound care. Today, we will share some practical tips to help you deal with the trouble of wounds that do not heal at finger joints.

Why are wounds on finger joints difficult to heal?

1. Frequent activities: Frequent activities of finger joints can easily cause stretching on the wound, affecting healing.

2. Poor blood circulation: The blood circulation at the fingertips is relatively poor, resulting in insufficient nutrient supply, which affects wound healing.

3. Risk of infection: Wounds are exposed and easily exposed to bacteria, increasing the risk of infection.

Tips: Hydrocolloid Band-Aid + Cotton Swab Fixation Method

To address the problem of wounds at finger joints being difficult to heal, we can try using a hydrocolloid Band-Aid plus two cotton swabs to make a simple fixing device to reduce the movement of the finger joints and promote wound healing.

1. Prepare materials: hydrocolloid Band-Aid (choose a style with good breathability and strong water absorption) and two cotton swabs.

2. Make the fixture :

First, clean the wound on the finger joint and disinfect it with disinfectant.

Then, take a cotton swab, fold it in half, and fix it to the proximal joint of the wound with a Band-Aid, so that the cotton swab is parallel to the finger joint.

Next, take another cotton swab, fold it in half, and fix it to the distal joint of the wound with a Band-Aid so that the two cotton swabs form a stable support structure.

Adjust for comfort: Make sure the fixture is firm but does not affect blood circulation in your fingers. If it feels too tight or too loose, adjust the position of the cotton swab or change to a different size of band-aid.

Other small processing methods and suggestions :

Keep the wound clean and dry: Change the Band-Aid regularly to keep the wound clean and dry to avoid infection.

Take adequate rest: Reduce the movement of the finger joints to avoid stretching the wound. During the wound healing period, try to avoid using the injured finger for heavy physical labor or delicate operations.

Promote blood circulation: You can promote blood circulation in the finger joints and accelerate wound healing by using methods such as hot compress and massage. But be careful not to use too high a temperature to avoid scalding the skin.

Nutritional support: Ensure adequate nutritional intake, especially high-quality protein, vitamin C, zinc, and other nutrients that are beneficial to wound healing. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meat, eggs, and other nutritious foods.

Medical consultation: If the wound does not heal for a long time or shows signs of infection (such as redness, swelling, pain, increased exudate, etc.), you should consult a professional doctor in time. The doctor will give more specific treatment suggestions based on the condition of the wound.

The wound on the finger joint has not healed is a problem that requires patience and careful care.

At the same time, we must maintain a good living habit and mentality, and I believe that we will soon get rid of the trouble of wound healing.
