Frequently Asked Questions
1) How often will my dressing be changed?
Frequency depends on the wound type, drainage, dressing materials, and your surgeon’s plan. Many post-operative wounds require changes every 24–72 hours. Your nurse will set a schedule after the initial assessment.
2) Do you remove stitches or staples at home?
Yes, when your surgeon authorizes it. Our nurses follow sterile protocol and your surgeon’s timeline to remove sutures or staples safely and check that the wound edges are well-approximated.
3) Can you manage drains like JP or Hemovac at home?
Yes. We empty and measure drain output, maintain suction, keep insertion sites clean, and teach you how to handle drains safely until removal by your surgeon.
4) Do you provide wound VAC (negative pressure) care?
When prescribed, our nurses can change dressings and monitor therapy settings in coordination with your doctor, using approved equipment and sterile technique.
5) Which dressings do you use?
We use evidence-based options such as foam, alginate, hydrofiber, hydrocolloid, silicone, silver-impregnated, and non-adherent dressings. Selection is based on moisture balance, exudate level, and healing stage.
6) What are the warning signs of wound infection?
Redness spreading from the incision, warmth, swelling, increasing pain, fever, pus-like discharge, or a bad smell. Contact us and your surgeon promptly if these appear.
7) Can I shower with a surgical wound?
Often yes, with waterproof covering and only after your surgeon’s go-ahead. We’ll show you how to protect the site and safely pat it dry, and we’ll re-dress it afterward if needed.
8) What if I have diabetes or a chronic condition?
We tailor care to your medical history, including blood glucose checks when needed and special precautions to support healing and reduce complications.
9) Do you bring wound care supplies?
We can bring medical-grade supplies or use those specified by your surgeon. Your nurse will explain which products are included and any additional items recommended.
10) Is at-home wound care covered by insurance in the UAE?
Coverage varies by policy. We can provide detailed invoices and supporting documentation to assist with claims. Contact us to check your eligibility.
11) Can I request a female nurse or specific language support?
Yes. We respect cultural preferences and offer male or female nurses, with multilingual support whenever possible.
12) How quickly can I get a visit?
We offer flexible scheduling seven days a week, with same-day options in many areas. Share your location and timing needs, and we’ll confirm the earliest availability.
