First Aid
If you have injured your finger, do the following as you are preparing to see your doctor:
Clean the injury, if possible, and cover it with a lightly compressive sterile dressing to minimize bleeding and protect the injured finger.
Elevate the injured hand to minimize swelling.
Immobilize the affected hand and wrist with a short splint.
If your fingertip is completely cut off, do the following:
Gently clean the amputated part with water or, if possible, with sterile saline solution.
Cover it in a moistened gauze wrap.
Place it in a watertight bag.
Place the bag on ice in a sealed container or another watertight bag.
Do not allow the amputated part to be in direct contact with ice. You could damage it further.
Bring the amputated part with you to the emergency room and maintain control over it until the doctor is able to evaluate you.
