Bandage changes: Hi, After surgery, dressings should be regularly changed and the underlying wound routinely examined to monitor the healing progress. Keep the area dry and gently but snugly wrapped. If bandages are visible soiled, you should change them. Never pull on bandaids or adhesives with excessive force. Hope this helps.
