We cleaned the wounds every other day.
"every other day" is not hyphenated, and "cleaned" or "treated" would sound a little more natural than "cured".

we cured the wounds every-other-day
According to medical webpages, "interdiarios" is just every-other-day treatments

Creo que hay una diferencia en el español cuando un médico dice "curar" y no "tratar o limpiar" una herida. Por ejemplo, habla del uso de un medicamento o pomada curativo. No creo que sea sinónimo de limpiar la herida. En cuanto a "treated" me parece que, si bien es más general, funciona bien. Gracias por los comments!!! =)

: Sí. Pero creo que en lugar de "we cured the wounds" se diría "we cleaned the wounds".
