Are you worried about how to take your dressings off? Many people are.After an arthroscopic procedure, I place a suction dressing on your shoulder that absorbs any fluid from the surgery. The nurses at the hospital will change your dressings before you discharge from hospital to small waterproof dressings. You can shower over the top of these dressings.I like you to take your dressings off 5 to 7 days after your shoulder surgery. Under the dressings are steristrips and you can leave these in place until they fall off.This video will show you how to take your dressings off.
