Your child’s wound has been treated with special medical glue. They have had a thorough examination and are now considered fit to be discharged. The following instructions will aid their recovery.

Chinese (Traditional)

Instead of stitches we have used a special medical glue to close your child’s wound. It acts like a scab to hold the edges of the wound together and drops off by itself when the wound is properly healed.

During the first five days

You should:

Let your child go to school as normal.

You should not:

Wash your child’s hair, but, if you need to, you can clean the hair around the wound with a sponge.
Let your child pick the glue or comb near it.
Let your child go swimming.

After five days

You should:

Wash and comb your child’s hair as normal.
Let your child go swimming as normal.

Take your child to your nearest Emergency Department or telephone us if:

The wound opens again.
You are worried about them.
