castile soap
tegaderm
stretch netting.
castile soap is to clean out wounds. this is the most unpleasant part.
tegaderm is for healing road rash. it prevents scabbing - it's IS the scab, really, so it keeps everything inside really moist - and heals things faster with less scarring.
stretch netting is to look pro - or, so that you can put a bit of gauze on over the tegaderm (to soak up any spillage, or to hide the raw from your coworkers) and then hold it in place. tape in uncomfortable. stretch netting is PRO.
