Types Of Injuries & Wounds:
Cuts, Abrasions, & Lacerations:
These injuries can occur from sharp objects or falls. Our team will clean the wound, apply appropriate dressings, and may administer tetanus shots if necessary, ensuring proper healing and minimizing the risk of infection.

We assess the cause of the nosebleed, provide effective measures to stop the bleeding, and offer guidance on preventive strategies to avoid future episodes.
