Wound Care & Other TreatmentsWound Care & Other TreatmentsWound Care & Other TreatmentsWound Care & Other Treatments
Cleanse, cover wound with sterile dressing. Apply antibiotic ointment.
Surgical wound debridement at 3-10 days, if necessary.
Resume activity at 3-4 days post bite.
Steroids should be avoided except for true allergic phenomena or serum sickness related to CroFab.
Prophylactic antibiotics should be avoided. Snake bites have a very low incidence of infection.
Electric shock therapy of the wound should be avoided.
Elevate the limb as often as possible. Recurrent edema may occur for several MONTHS.
Do not wear anything constricting until healed.
