How can I help a wound heal with little scarring?

Sorry to hear of your accident but glad you are okay.
I had surgery on my neck for my thyroid and have a 4 cm scar.
My suggestion to you is to use Aquaphor and Mederma and keep your wound from scabbing and to protect it from the sun (use sunscreen and/or wear a hat when outside) because it can darken permanently.
Here are some helpful links.

Good instructions to keep it moist with hypoallergenic products.
I like silicon sheets that are helpful once the scabbing and crusting stage of wound healing is complete. Use them at nighttime or all day long for weeks after they
also can help prevent darkening from sun exposure.
If a scar thickens there is the option of laser remediation done by an experienced dermatologist.
