I've had luck with large finger cuts that probably needed stitches -- DIDN'T clean it, DIDN'T put ointment on it, just bound it pretty tightly* as soon as I could (seconds, not minutes) with a band-aid. Seems to heal back to the original condition in a few days. Of course, one of the swipes healed a little crooked, so my fingerprint is off by a few ridges.

* A'course, don't bind it so tight you cut off circulation -- common sense, please!
