Care to Be Taken for Post-Surgical Dressing

 

    • Keep the dressing area clean and dry to avoid any risk of infection.

    • Avoid touching the wound with bare hands; always use sanitized hands or gloves.

    • Change the dressing as advised by your doctor or nurse—usually once a day or as needed.

    • Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, unusual discharge, or foul smell.

    • Do not apply any ointments or creams unless prescribed by your healthcare provider.

    • Avoid heavy physical activity or movement that might disturb the dressing or wound.

    • Secure the dressing properly with medical tape or bandages to prevent slipping.

    • Keep the dressing breathable—avoid sealing it too tightly, which may delay healing.

    • Consult a professional nurse if you’re unsure about dressing changes or wound care.

    • Follow your post-surgery medication and care plan carefully for best recovery.
