Patient Advice

The surface of the wound which has been closed using INDERMIL® Flexifuze™ tissue adhesive will look different to a wound which has been closed by conventional stitches. This is because the adhesive has been applied to the surface of the skin and may take on an irregular crinkled appearance, this is quite normal and will not affect the function of the adhesive. The overall appearance can best be described as resembling a dry scab and should be treated like a scab – do not pick at it! INDERMIL® Flexifuze™ is shower-proof, enabling patients to shower as soon as the adhesive has dried. However, avoid scrubbing the wound site. Do not apply any medications or cream to the wound and do not pull or pick at the wound or bandage. Report any discomfort or other concerns regarding your wound to your doctor. The adhesive will come away from the skin of its own accord within about five to eight days, just like a normal scab. By this time the wound should be sufficiently healed. There is no need to seek further medical assistance unless you are unhappy with your wound. The scarring will take approximately six months to fade.
