Knife Wounds And Deep Cuts

If you experience a knife wound, the only thing you need to do is remain still and do not pull the knife out. Leave the knife in. Many people and parents do not realize that pulling out the knife can cause serious bleeding. The knife must stay in until medical personal decide the extent of the injury.

For deep cuts, it is not recommended that you simply bandage the cut. Many times a cut that is deep has bacteria already settling in the wound. Simply bandaging the wound can lead to serious infections. Using butterfly bandages do not work if they are not put on clean wounds. Sometimes the wound is deep enough to require cleaning by a doctor and stitching.

Always remember these tips in case of an emergency to protect your health and the health of your children.
