Skin abrasions resulting from contact with synthetic turf surfaces, commonly encountered in athletic activities, necessitate prompt and appropriate care. The friction generated during falls or slides on this material can cause injuries ranging from mild redness to more severe blistering and skin loss.
Proper management of these injuries is crucial to prevent infection, minimize scarring, and expedite the healing process. Historically, treatment approaches mirrored those used for other types of abrasions. However, specific considerations regarding the nature of the synthetic surface and potential contaminants have led to refined protocols for optimal outcomes.
