Instruct patients to apply antibiotic ointment over the staples two to three times per day until they are removed.6. 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.
My surgical follow up was rescheduled due to my doctor's schedule so it will be one day short of 3 weeks when I go in to have my staples removed.Is that too long? I still am emptying my pouch 3 times a day and hope that 'ends' about the same time because it's almost 3 hours round trip.Just wondered....y staples were removed a few days short of 3 weeks. By then the incision was completely healed. Removing the staples was painless and only took a few minutes. It felt good to get them out! If your incision is still open in spots, they will apply steri-strips to those areas.
