Bleeding lip injuries require flushing the wound, cleaning and suturing the wound, preventing wound infection, and promoting tissue healing as soon as possible.
1. Flush the wound: bleeding lip injury indicates an open wound, use gauze to cover the wound for the first 6 to 12 hours, then use large amounts of saline to flush the skin around the wound, or use a low concentration of iodine vapors to scrub the wound to remove bacteria, sediment, and tissue debris from the wound.
2. Cleaning up the wound: keep the injured tissue as much as possible, repair the necrotic tissue, and pay attention to whether there is any nerve damage or tissue defect when cleaning up.
3. Suture: then tight suture to stop bleeding, close the wound, deeper wounds need to be layered suture, alignment and leveling.
For lip injury wound is small, if no need to suture, you can also use gauze pressure to stop bleeding after cleaning, specific can consult a professional physician’s opinion.
