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).
1 Wash the wound with a large amount of water to remove all the dirt, debris, and bacteria from the wound. 2  A mild soap, such as Ivory dishwashing soap, is best. (Note: If you are cleaning a wound near the eye, do not get soap products in the eye.). 3  Hold the wound under clean, running tap water; the more water, the better.
