Frequently asked questions & Answers

How should I behave if I have a bruise?

The so-called “PECH” rule shows which first measures make sense in the event of a bruise:

1. Break: Immobilize the affected part of the body as quickly as possible.Lie or sit down and be careful not to put any strain on that area of your body.

2. Ice: Cooling is essential to reduce the pain and swelling that occurs.Cool packs or ice packs are particularly suitable for this.However, do not place this directly on the injured area, but instead, for example,B. a cloth in between.

3. Compression: If possible, wrap the affected area in a pressure bandage to prevent possible bleeding.

4. Elevate: It is best to elevate the injured body part above heart level to additionally counteract the blood flow.

These are first aid measures, ideally you should see a doctor, especially if the symptoms get worse.

How can I best prevent sports injuries?

Sports injuries are more likely depending on the sport and cannot be completely ruled out.However, warming up before exercise in particular can reduce the risk of injury, e.g.B. the muscle groups are prepared for the upcoming stress.Also equipment such asB. Knee pads can provide appropriate protection.Don't overestimate your body and take enough rest when you notice that your body needs it.

How can I use the ointment with a bandage?

If used under a bandage, apply the ointment as thick as the back of a knife and apply an ointment bandage, possibly also an elastic bandage.If intolerances become apparent when changing the dressing, the preparation should be discontinued and the compression treatment should be carried out without applying Heparin axicur 60,000 IU ointment.
