Don't run water over a deep wound. Apply direct pressure and get the victim to a medical provider. If the wound is contaminated, a professional should clean it out. Tap water is not sterile and can spread contamination and cause additional tissue damage.

How long can a wound be left open for?
If a laceration (cut) is at high risk for infection, due to foreign matter in the wound, or exposure to lake water, river water, sea water, soil, animals, or fishy things, it should be cleaned as soon as possible, either with saline solution, wound wash, or mild soap and water. Even clean drinking water will do very nicely. Cleaning the wound well and promptly is your best defence against infection, but no need to pour any kind of disinfectant into the wound. This can irritate the tissue and slow the healing process. If available, dab a little Neosporin type ointment on the outside of the wound only after the bleeding has stopped for 30 minutes.If the wound requires stitches, and is at high risk for infection, then 6 hours is the longest you can wait.If the injury is clean and debris - free, then 8 hours is usually the limit.
