Caring For Your Wound

Caring for a wound that has been closed
with DERMABOND®.1

 

  • Keep the wound dry1.
  • Do not scratch, rub, or pick at the wound or DERMABOND®; if you do, the film may become loose before the wound is fully healed1.
  • You may take brief showers or baths at the direction of your physician. After showering or bathing, gently blot your wound dry with a soft towel1.
  • Do not soak or scrub your wound; do not swim, until the adhesive film has fallen off naturally1.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight and do not use tanning lamps1.
  • Do not apply liquid or ointment medications or any other product to your wound while DERMABOND® is in place. It could loosen the film before your wound has healed1.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, contact your doctor or trained clinical professional.
