Wound Wash Dressings
At Accelerated Wound Care (AWC), we understand that proper wound cleansing is one of the most important steps in preventing complications. Wound wash dressings are a powerful solution for cleaning, protecting, and promoting healing—all without the need for travel. Our mobile team delivers sterile wound wash dressings directly to your home across the Chicagoland area. Whether you’re dealing with a fresh wound or a chronic condition, we bring the expertise, equipment, and care to help you heal safely and comfortably at home.
How to Wash an Open Wound
Cleansing an open wound might seem simple, but doing it incorrectly can delay healing or increase your risk of infection. Before touching the wound, always wash your hands thoroughly to avoid introducing new bacteria. Using clean water or a sterile irrigation solution, gently rinse the area to remove dirt and debris—never use harsh chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, which can damage healthy tissue. Pat the wound dry with sterile gauze, then apply a wound wash dressing that keeps the area clean and moist. If you're unsure or need help, AWC clinicians are ready to handle it for you—right in your home, with the best tools and care available.
Types of Wound Wash Dressings We Provide
Different wounds require different approaches. Our wound specialists tailor treatment using a variety of advanced wound wash dressings, depending on your needs. Here are some of the most common types we use:
Antiseptic Wound Dressings– Help reduce bacteria and prevent infection—ideal for open or high-risk wounds.
Hydrogel Dressings– Cool and hydrate dry wounds like burns or blisters while promoting faster healing.
Foam Dressings– Absorb excess wound fluid while cushioning the area—great for draining wounds.
Non-Adherent Dressings– Gentle and easy to remove—used for fragile skin or wounds prone to sticking.
Semipermeable Film Dressings– Flexible, see-through dressings that protect superficial wounds like scrapes or abrasions.
Absorbent Dressings– Multi-layer designs for surgical sites or skin grafts that need strong fluid management.
Alginate Dressings– Seaweed-based materials perfect for venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and deep wounds.
Hydrocolloid Dressings– Gel-forming dressings used to support healing in pressure ulcers and mildly draining wounds.
Collagen Dressings– Support cell growth and tissue regeneration—ideal for chronic or non-healing wounds.
Amniotic Membrane Allograft– Placental-derived dressings rich in proteins and growth factors—used for advanced wound regeneration and severe tissue injury.
Wound Cleansing Products are Essential
In addition to professional dressing applications, we use high-quality wound cleansing products at every visit. From sterile spray washes to antiseptic agents, our treatments help flush out bacteria and prep the wound bed for optimal healing. For deeper wounds, we may use irrigation systems that clear away debris and biofilm buildup. These products play a critical role in wound healing and are included in every AWC treatment plan for comprehensive care.
