How soon after my stitches removed can I start using biocorneum?

You should really ask your surgeon I used it one week later. Just a drop and gently apply. Has sunscreen to prevent darkness

I waited until the scabs started to form and started applying right after. My scars are looking better and less noticeable after daily use for several months now.

NO. My 21lb cocker had this on for 3 seconds and reached his neutering stitches no problem. Returning it.

I would say overnight or at longest a day or two. I apply it and then put a lightly covered gauze bandage so it does not get on bed sheet or clothes. Reapply some everyday and change he bandage. It is great for bringing a boil to drain or drawing up a splinter that is infected to the top.

Change the first dressing after 2-3 days. Then watch the slough on the wound. If it covers more that 20% of the wound - keep changing every 2-3 days. Normally, for average sloughy wounds the process of slough removal takes around 2 weeks. Once the wound becomes 80% free of slough - gradually reduce the change frequency for up to 5-7 day wear time depending on drainage level. Dressing needs to be changed when the exudate reaches the dressing edge, please see picture: http://www.enluxtrawoundcare.com/uploads/7/3/6/7/7367632/2184182.png?293For more information and additional questions, please go to: www.AnyWound.com/how-to-useThank you for your question and happy healing!

We would change the dressing approximately twice a week when the nurses came to help my sister-in-law. For myself I left one on for 5 days with no problems. It protected my surgery incision completely when showering with no moisture seeping in to get the bandage wet. It may be different for others, but that it my experience. Hope this helps answer your inquiry.

I don't think you'd want to use this for injuries to a joint. It is generally used to hold gauze on a wound. If you've had a blood draw recently they probably used it to hold the cotton on the draw point. There is a version of Coban (Coban 2, I believe) that is used to apply compression to wounds. This isn't it.

If your scar is completely healed, I do not think this garment would irritate it. I think at 7 weeks if you wear this garment daily, you will see flattening of your belly and improvement in the separation of your abdominal muscles. If that is what you desire, I think you would get results. I really think this garment helped me get back to my pre pregnancy figure. Good luck with your new baby!

I am sorry but I didn't actually open them, but added them to our survival kits. In a gunshot trauma course I recently took, I learned that the quickclot 'guaze' is the newest thing and saw a video on how to use it. The guaze is actually designed to be packed inside the wound and removed in the ER. Sorry I couldn't have a better answer, but the gauze is actually what you want.

Yes but don't press too hard. Wait about 2 weeks before doing again. Just roll it lightly on your face. Less is more. Also don't do it too often. Once a week for 4 weeks then rest a few weeks. Otherwise you'll look like Sponge Bob square pants!! I've been using it for 3 months. Scars are diminishing. People are commenting on my face. You will need to get a new roller every 3-4 months so the blades stay sharp. Good luck!

I leave mine on all the time (unless it is covering stitches & then I take it out). I just relax the tension when I am done and then tighten it up when I am ready to work again. And these are what I use 90% of the time.

I would say yes. You may have to use it longer than 30 days to see results as everyone's skin heals at a different pace and also the more damage you have the longer it is going to take your body to produce enough collagen to start to tighten up the area you are working on.

my understanding is that you are only supposed to use it twice a week, every 3 days or so in order to give the collagen time to produce. I'd find it hard to imagine that the needles would dull very quickly especially because you roll lightly. I'm guessing a roller would last 1 year easily and then replace it all together.

Hello, it is me again, I just googled "can kelo cote be used on children", and it did say it was SILICONE based, and that it can be used on babies and children, but that the wound has to be closed first. Just type in that question and you will see for yourself. It also can be used on burns, it is water proof, and that I can attest to as well, but your skin can still breathe. I would still ask my DOCTOR as I don't know the age of your child, what kind of injury/scars etc. Good Luck!

Yes on the processes and are you referring to the sutures? and yes to that as well. I can send you a pic of mine if you want? I took a sharpie to outline my sutures and then I have labels (#) to correspond to my lab book. So I can send a pic to kind of give you an idea. Let me know. Just send me your email.

I had surgery in October and it helped the healing process. The wound healed up very nicely!

Exactly, one application, cover and wait. Wait 24 hr to see if there is any reaction on the site. After 24 hour the area gets swollen and red this is normal if there is something there that the immune system needs to attack.

how long does it take to refreeze after use in a biomedical freezer? I want to reuse my caps during a 4 hour infusion.
