Español The first step after a workplace hand injury is to stop what you are doing and assess the severity of the injury. For cuts, apply pressure to control bleeding and clean the wound with sterile materials. If the injury involves swelling, fractures, or severe pain, immobilize the hand to prevent further damage until you can reach medical care.
Delaying treatment can lead to complications such as infections, permanent stiffness, or reduced hand function. Even injuries that seem minor, like small cuts or strains, may hide deeper damage to tendons or nerves. A quick medical evaluation ensures nothing is overlooked.
For peace of mind and proper care, schedule an appointment at Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, where experienced hand surgeons and specialists can provide comprehensive treatment for workplace injuries.
