Abrasion and crush wounds
       
           At first the wound have to be cleaned with tap water. Then the 
       wound 
       is covered with an alginate dressing and covered with an adhesive 
       tape, 
       which can be non-sterile. The next day, the wound is evaluated. After 
       the removal of the dressing, it is washed with tap water. The next 
       steps 
       vary by locations; the facial wound is covered with a hydrocolloid 
       dressing and other wounds need to be covered with multi-layered 
       dressings (i.e. , Plusmoist(TM) ). After the dressings change, the 
       patient removes and changes the dressings everyday. The goal of the 
       treatment is an exudate-free and fully covered epithelialization. 
       Exposure of the wound to sunlight should be avoided, because 
       ultraviolet 
       light enhances pigmentations of the wound scar.
           A contaminated wound have to be cleaned after local anesthesia is 
       applied. The foreign body must be removed completely. After that, the 
       procedure described as above is performed.
            Deep wounds with exposure of fat, muscles or bones, are also 
       treated in the same manner.
