Wound cleansing and disinfection
All wounds should be cleansed at each dressing change, before and after debridement, and in the event of contamination using a neutral, nonirritating, nontoxic solution, and routine cleansing should be accomplished with every effort to minimize chemical and/or mechanical trauma.(60-61) An exception to the requirement for routine cleansing may be the recent application of a skin graft or cellular tissue product, which should be left undisturbed; in this case the surrounding skin should be cleansed.
