Remove the clothing from the wound, if applicable.
Clean the wound with a spurt of cold water or sterile saline solution.
Clean the wound from the centre outwards using a piece of gauze soaked in water and neutral soap (do not use cotton wool, as this could leave filaments), or oxygenated water.
Cut away any hairs or possible traces of skin using a pair of scissors with rounded tips.
Rinse the wound to remove all traces of soap or oxygenated water, using water or saline solution.
Dry the wound using a piece of sterile gauze.
Apply an antiseptic, preferably one based on iodised povidone, using a piece of sterile gauze.
