The Tape That Goes Over The Wounds After Surgery

[amandaakadeda 1]

The sterile tape after surgery thats put on the wounds should it Come off so soon after? When does it come off I'm worried one did and the others are on there tight is it normal to fall off so soon?? Should I cover it with a band aid ? Any advice anyoneeeeee I don't want it to get infected that's the least thing I need

It comes off at its own pace, which is usually 7-10 days after. If you had one fall off sooner, you may want to call the surgeon's office and see what they advise.

each type of steri-strip is different. the type my Hospital used holds on for dear life They took mine off today day 15.

I would say it depends on the status of your incision sites. If they look good then don't stress, if they are not healing contact your dr.'s office.
