Wound care basics for private practices

Story

Sterile gauze, a simple bandage, and alcohol swabs cover most room turnovers. That sequence prevents most last-minute dashes to the cupboard.

You need gauze, bandages, and swabs. Skip the 12-piece specialty sets until you know the case mix.

Takeaways

  • Keep gauze in two sizes, not twelve.
  • Opened sterile packs cannot go back on the shelf.
  • Three SKUs: gauze, bandage, alcohol swab.
