> I think you are right. Now, there are many products for this

>
> But, the principle is simple. Do not disinfect. Keep humidity. That's
> all. We can treat wounds as like the doctor's primitive technique.
>
> Of course, there are exceptional cases. --- In the case of dirty
> injuries, we must wash the injured parts by the clean water.

>> My friend fell from his bike and he was treated by the "open
>> wet-dressing therapy". His wound cured rapidly. In Japan, this
>> treatment method was introduced  by TV, then  many doctors adopted
>> this technique.
>>
>> This site was an experiment of of a doctor. This site was written in

>> He made two wounds in his arm.  He treated the left wound  by the
>> traditional method, and the right wound by the open-wet-dressing
>> therapy.
>>
>> It took 4 to 5 days to cure the right wound by the open-wet-dressing therapy.
>> It took 2 to 3 weeks to cure the left wound by the traditional method.

>> Today,  Johnson & Johnson or other companies sell more efficient films

>>
>> But, the principle is simple, you can do this therapy by the duct tape
>> and the freezer packs on the trail.

>>> I must say one thing briefly. The skin and soft tissue section is
>>> outdated. Today, in Japan, the majority of doctor do not use the
>>> antibiotic creams and antiseptic solutions, because they kill the
>>> normal skin cells and prevent the recovery.  The blood on the wound is
>>> important. The blood prevent infections. So, it is better to keep
>>> blood on the wounds, except very dirty case. The duct tape and freezer
>>> pack is useful. We  can cover the wounds by those and  maintain
>>> humidity, because the humidity facilitate the recovery.  I cannot
>>> explain fluently. Please consult more advanced medical site.
