How to deal with a glass cut on your hand

Glass is very common in our lives, and glass is a very hard object. If the glass is broken, it can easily cause cuts on our hands. Glass cuts are different from other injuries. They may enter our fingers while cutting. At this time, special treatment is required to eliminate hidden dangers. So, how do you deal with a glass cut on your hand? Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.

When window glass, cups or bowls are broken, the fragments can injure people, because the fragments of glass or porcelain are very sharp, and these fragments are numerous and small, so a different method is needed from treating general traumatic injuries. The specific steps are:

First, rinse the wound fragments with tap water. If large fragments pierce the head or chest, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Second, use tweezers to remove small fragments and then disinfect them. If the small fragments are shallow, you can use tweezers to remove them one by one. Once the glass fragments are completely removed, rinse with tap water and then disinfect.

Third, you can also use disinfectant to remove small fragments and then rinse the wound. If the wound is covered with small fragments, you can use disinfectant to make them float, and then rinse off the floating glass fragments with tap water.

Fourth, bandage. After disinfection, apply a bandage. Be careful not to apply ointment to the wound at this time.

In addition, once you are stabbed by glass, please remember not to wipe the fragments directly with your hands, especially when the fragments are stuck to your clothes, you will be stabbed by the glass fragments if you wipe them directly with your hands. When the wound on the palm is very deep, the glass fragments may break the tendon, so try to gently bend your fingers to find out whether the tendon is broken. If the tendon is broken, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
