1 Selection: Be sure to choose the right type of slip resistant shoe for the job. 2  If you're on the go a lot, you might consider a slip resistant work shoe with a closed heel and secure closure design. 3  If your job requires you to stand most of the time, a slip resistant clog styled shoe with an open back may be preferable.
Recognize the importance of what Jackson-Pratt (JP) drains do. Following your surgery, you may have drainage from the wound that needs to be removed to prevent fluid, hematoma, and/or abscesses from forming. Being able to monitor the drainage also lets you watch for developing complications after your surgery.
You may need to change your bandage more than once a day if it gets completely wet. 1  Wash your hands with soap and water. 2  Loosen the tape and gently remove the old bandage. Throw the old bandage into a plastic trash bag. 3  Use soap and water or saline (salt water) solution to clean your JP drain site.
