Essential dressings after thyroid surgery

Wound care after thyroid surgery is very important, as it is directly related to the patient's recovery speed and effect. Today, I will share with you some dressings that help thyroid wounds recover faster. Let's take a look at them.

What wound dressings are needed after thyroid surgery?

1. Wound Skin Closure: Use after removing the sutures to prevent the wound from getting bigger and wider. Please use it in time during the wound healing period.

2. Super Absorbent Dressing: It has a strong ability to absorb exudate, and after absorbing wound exudate, it quickly forms a highly transparent gel, which can adhere tightly to the wound, effectively preventing exudate leakage and surrounding skin infiltration, and helping wound healing. The dressing uses a silicone gel coating, which will not damage the wound granulation and surrounding tissues when changing the dressing, can relieve wound pain, and reduce pain and trauma when removing the dressing.

3. Silicone Scar Dressing: This dressing can be used after the scab has completely fallen off. It is a high-purity medical silicone ingredient that can inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and capillaries, thereby preventing the formation of scars. If it gets dirty, it can be washed with water and reapplied. It is also relatively convenient to use.

The scar care methods are as follows:

1. Use saline solution to clean the wound, and use Wound Skin Closure and Super Absorbent Dressing to wait for the wound to heal for about ten days.

2. Use saline solution to clean the wound, and then use Silicone Scar Dressing to prevent scars, and the cycle is about 90 days.

Tips for using dressings:

1. Make sure the dressing fits snugly against the wound without any gaps or wrinkles.

2. Change the dressing regularly and keep the wound clean and dry.

3. Follow your doctor's advice and instructions to use the dressing correctly and avoid adjusting or changing it on your own.

4. In order to reduce the formation of scars, it is recommended to wear sunscreen when going out to avoid pigmentation.

5. Control your diet eat more foods that help recovery, and try to avoid foods with high iodine content.

6. The important thing about exercising is persistence, at least 40 minutes each time, whether running or skipping rope.

7. a regular work and rest schedule. Staying up late will cause endocrine disorders and aggravate symptoms. It is to go to bed at 10 pm and get up at 7 am to ensure 8 hours of sleep.

About fading scars after surgery :

Surgical scars are inevitably very deep, and recovery will take longer than usual. Keep the incision clean every day and wipe it with saline solution on time. Start using scar patches after the scars naturally fall off. You can cut them according to the size of the scars and stick to them for eight hours a day. This can effectively prevent scar proliferation and slowly fade the color of the scars.
