If the wound is on your arm and you only have one hand to dress it you need to ask someone else to do it. Could someone help you at home? If not I think you need to get a nurse to clean and dress it regularly, they can also be doing a wound check each time to keep an eye on infection/deterioration.
Also, Drs should be able to prescribe the right dressing packs and saline spray bottles, these are much less messy than saline capsules.. they spray the wound and involve less touching/hand contamination.
At home I clean a smooth surface [kitchen worktops usually] with dis-infectant spray and wash my hands, then open the packs and let the contents drop onto the surface, not touching them, then wash hands again. Then start cleaning wounds, then put all dirty stuff in bin, wash hands again and dress/bandage.
