Minor procedures including wound care and dressing management are commonly performed in primary care clinics across Dubai and the UAE. These services address everyday injuries such as cuts, abrasions, minor burns, and superficial wounds, as well as post-surgical dressing changes and chronic wound monitoring.

Primary care physicians evaluate wound type, depth, contamination level, and risk of infection. Proper cleaning and irrigation remove debris and reduce bacterial load. Sterile techniques ensure safe management and promote optimal healing.

Minor wound management may involve dressing application, topical medications, tetanus vaccination updates, and follow-up planning. For small abscesses, incision and drainage may be performed when indicated.

Chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers require careful monitoring and coordinated care to prevent complications. Blood sugar control and regular dressing changes are critical components of management.

In the UAE’s warm climate, infection prevention is especially important. Patients receive guidance on wound hygiene and warning signs such as redness, swelling, discharge, or fever.

Primary care-based minor procedures reduce the need for hospital visits while ensuring timely care. Proper wound management prevents complications and promotes faster recovery.

Minor procedures represent an essential aspect of accessible, community-based healthcare services.
