Associate Professor of Surgery
Assam Medical college and Hospital
 Include those in which no infection is present;
only skin microflora potentially contaminate
the wound and no hollow viscus that contains
microbes is entered.
 Examples – Hernia repair, breast surgeries
 Class I B wounds are similar except that a
prosthetic device ( e.g. mesh or valve ) is
inserted.
 Include those in which hollow viscus such as
the respiratory, allimentary or genito urinary
tracts with indigenous bacterial flora is
opened under controlled circumstances,
without significant spillage of contents.
 E.g. cholecystectomy, elective G I surgery
 Include open accident wounds encountered
early after injury, those with extensive
introduction of bacteria into a normally sterile
area of the body due to major breaks in
sterile technique.
 e.g. Penetrating abdominal trauma, large
tissue injury, enterotomy during bowel
surgery
 Include traumatic wounds in which a
significant delay in treatment has occurred
and in which necrotic tissue is present.
 E.g Perforated diverticulitis, Necrotizing soft
tissue infections
 Treatment options for
hypertrophic scars include:
 ● the application of
pressure garments or
topical silicone sheets;
 ● laser therapy;
 ● re-excision with linear
closure, which is most
useful in cases of excess
scar caused by infection or
dehiscence
 Examine the whole patient according to acute trauma life support
(ATLS) principles
 Tetanus cover should be given.
 A bleeding wound should be elevated and a pressure pad applied
 Clamps should not be put on vessels blindly as nerve damage is
likely and vascular anastomosis is rendered impossible
 adequate analgesia and/or anaesthesia (local, regional or general)
are required
 After assessment, a thorough debridement is essential to the limit of
blood staining.
 The use of copious saline irrigation or pulsed jet lavage can be less
destructive than knife or scissors when debriding.
 Adequate antibiotics and analgesics
 Regular dressings and debribement.
