Information for patients

The skin closures which have been applied to your wound are made of a material, which will hold your wound together while it heals, but when moistened will peel off
To assist the healing process, please ensure your dressing is kept clean and dry for …………………… days, after which they can be removed by gently peeling off or soaking
If you notice any swelling, inflammation or throbbing around your wound, please do not hesitate to contact us
