which blood components would be used to repair an open wound? which blood components would be used to repair an open wound?
Umm, well if it was an open chest wound..there would be an obvious HOLE/CUT in your chest. you would be able to see it.
I would say yes. An open wound may sting a bit, but it is always a good idea to keep it clean. Be gentle with the shampoo and dont rub the wounded area too much. Let the water flowing do the main work. It may freshen you up a bit to have a shower after a minor head wound. Be gentle when drying your hair afterwards. a hairdryer is a good idea. Your wound should not be allowed to be wet for an extencive period after a shower. That would make it an ideal growthplace for bacterias. After you have dried your hair, you could/should put some antibacterial powder like bacemycine talkum over your wound. (this if it is an open wound, otherwise no need.)
If it is a minor scrape, nothing will happen. If it is an open wound, apply antibacterial cream and bandages.

I would use Neosporin
cleaning a wound - under medical/surgical asepsis techniques with sanitization, disinfection, and/or sterilization. If open wound, it would then have to be debrideded so that new blood capilliaries are reach and new tissue would be allowed to form.
