Patient Aftercare
Simple Steps to Speed Your Recovery
Your wound has been repaired using exofin® Precision Pen. The list below is a guide for you to understand and care for your wound following your procedure.
Keep the Wound Dry
You may occasionally and briefly wet your wound in the shower at the direction of your physician, but do not soak or scrub the wound area. After showering, gently blot the wound dry with a soft towel.
Avoid Topical Medications
Do not apply liquid or ointment medications, lotions, creams, petroleum jelly, mineral oils or any other product to your wound while the exofin® adhesive film is in place.
Do Not Rub, Scratch, or Pick at the Wound
Doing so may compromise the integrity of the wound closure and cause scarring.
Protect the Wound From Prolonged Sunlight Exposure
Do not use tanning lamps while the film is in place.
Check Wound Appearance
Some swelling, redness, and pain are common with all wounds and normally will go away as the wound heals. If swelling, redness, or pain increases, or if the wound feels warm to the touch, contact your doctor. Also contact your doctor if the wound edges reopen or separate.
The Adhesive Will Naturally Slough Off Between 7 to 10 Days After the Procedure
By this time, your wound should be sufficiently healed. This information is intended for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice.
