A few days ago I cut my left hand rather badly between the thumb and forefinger (an awkward place for a cut). I cleansed the wound - slowly because it hurt - with cool water, then patted it dry with soft paper tissues, and then carefully poured CS directly on it, also dabbing with cotton soaked in CS. Then I dried the surrounding area with a soft cloth and applied a large bandaid with bacitracin zinc ointment because I felt it needed a coagulant (sp?). The bandaid fit the area perfectly and protected it because it 's hard to use your hand without touching that area.
I've changed the bandage each evening for the last 2 days, each time soaking the wound with CS. I could have changed the bandage more often, but it felt comfortable and It is healing quite nicely. Who needs Curad Silver bandage?

I once used this bandage for a deep finger cut ... paring vegetables. The wound healed up rapidly with the Curad ... too quick! A few days later my finger was inflamed, down deep. The wound re-opened ... I allowed it heal slowly without the Curad. the product works great ... but I'll be cautious on deep wounds.
