rinse the wound with purified water. you can accomplish this by boiling the water and then letting it cool to room temperature, or you can purchase distelled water at a home health care store or pharmacy. if that is not an option or can not wait for boiling water to cool use regular tap water. after the water then use peroxide on wound, then use betadine it is what the hospitol uses before surgery to kill infectiouse diseases. you can also purchase that at the pharmacy.

Have an open wound?

This question is very vague. What kind of open wound? Any open wound that needs stitching means attending hospital.
