Journal Before you start, make sure the cleansing solution is at room temperature or slighter warmer. It can take up to 40 minutes after cleaning for a wound to regain its original temperature, and up to 3 hours for miotic cell division and leukocytic activity to return to normal. Hydrogen peroxide is cytotoxic and may interfere with cellular homeostasis and delay wound healing and closure. The support of a tight cotton shirt or sports bra may provide protection and feel comfortable, especially for sleeping.

Clean at least 1 inch beyond the end of the new dressing or 2 inches beyond the wound margins if you aren’t applying a dressing. You may also want to apply a thin layer of an over-the-counter topical antibiotic or petroleum gel before covering with a bandage. This can help prevent infection and keep your skin moist. Position the patient so that the cleansing solution will flow by gravity from the upper end of the wound to the lower end.
