Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 I am surprised that the transparent film dressings are not being used in your part of the world. They have so improved and you can shower with them on and even bath. You get several makes eg. Tegaderm [3M] and Opsite [ & Nephew] & also have some. They come in different sizes and some even have a dressing pad in the centre to soak up any ooze. I had the one with the dressing pad in the centre immediately post op, and then a clean one at day 5, and after that it just stayed in place until I went to have the clips out. I was allowed to bath as soon as I got home [bliss !!!] with my hubby hovering at my elbow in case I fell over. When the clips were out I got a clear transparent one which I left on until it fell off. I had a bath every night and it stayed in place for a week. Why not ask for these ? They must be available.
