Instruct the patient to return in 2 to 3 days for a wound check. At that visit, evaluate the wound for signs of infection, and treat appropriately. Staples in the scalp can be removed 7 to 10 days after closure, using a commercial staple remover.7These are available through the same distributor as the stapler.
After the stitches or staples are put in, the area may be covered with a thin layer of ointment and covered with a nonstick bandage. Your doctor will give you instructions on how to care for your stitches or staples. Be sure to follow those instructions. Check with your doctor about how long you need to keep your wound dry. In some cases the bandage can be removed after 24 to 48 hours, and the wound can then be gently washed to remove the crust. Do not scrub or soak the wound during the first 48 hours.
