Try to keep your stitches (sutures) dry for at least 48 hours after surgery. Your healthcare professional will tell you when you can get your stitches wet or if they need to be kept dry. This may depend on what kind of wound and dressing you have.
Staples, Steri-Strips, Band-Aids, and skin glue can be alternatives to suture material for skin closure. Dissolvable suture material may be used for the repair of deep tissues. Most sutures are left in place for seven to 10 days.
