I used to work at a metal shop and we would get the tiniest of metal splinters. It was fun using the scope and calipers to pull them out.

Some people require wound vacs to keep the fluids out of the wound so I would guess that can play a huge part in it.

I think from what i remember, stitching it up is a lot like intubating someone. High risk of infection. Also for draining purposes.

Because you can trap in bacteria and stuff before it has time to heal, you have to clean the wound and bandage daily.

People are often put in charge of wound care for themselves. I’ve done a bit of home health care and I’ve seen bed sores progress to a point they had a few inches deep tunneling you have to pack with gauze and bandage up.
