Clean the wound. Using a syringe or other field expedient device, irrigate the wound with clean water in order to remove debris. Antiseptic can also be applied to lessen the likelihood of infection. Apply a pressure bandage directly over the wound (with guaze, and preferably a hemostatic agent, packed into the wound).
The best way to clean a cut, scrape, or puncture wound (such as from a nail) is with cool water. You can hold the wound under running water or fill a tub with cool water and pour it from a cup over the wound. Use soap and a soft washcloth to clean the skin around the wound.
