Is it okay if the gauze sticks to the wound?

Gauze stuck together with the wound may induce infection, affecting the smooth healing of the wound, which should be dealt with in a timely manner and not left unattended. After the wound appears, there will be tissue fluid oozing out of the wound area, and the tissue fluid will slowly solidify to form a scab, which will form a protection for the wound and promote the smooth healing of the wound. However, during the treatment of the wound, especially a day or two after bandaging the wound, the oozing fluid can easily stick together with the gauze. For this situation, it must be handled in a timely manner and not left unattended to reduce the chances of wound wound infection and ensure smooth recovery. To deal with this situation, the gauze is usually moistened with saline and left for 3 to 5 minutes. After wetting, the gauze can slowly soften and thus separate from the wound. The gauze is then carefully removed with tweezers to expose the wound, and the wound is again sterilized with iodophor. You can then wait a few minutes for the wound to dry a little before applying the gauze.
