Become a First-Aid Pro: Instant Bleeding Control for Cuts and Wounds

Quick explainer

To control bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage for several minutes until the bleeding ceases. If the bleeding persists, seek immediate medical care

Blog quote

When dealing with bleeding from a cut, refrain from using dirty or non-sterile materials to cover the wound, as they may lead to infection. Additionally, avoid removing any large or deeply embedded objects from the wound, as this could exacerbate bleeding or cause additional harm. Finally, refrain from applying excessive force or repeatedly checking the wound, as it can disrupt clotting and prolong bleeding
