Finger tendon sutures are 20 days old and usually don’t need to be wrapped in gauze, but if you have rheumatism, you may still need to wrap gauze.
Finger tendon suture is a small surgery, used to treat tendon rupture and injury, this surgery is less traumatic, the recovery is relatively fast, most of the wound healing time is about two weeks, at this time you can remove the stitches, generally do not need to wrap the gauze after removing the stitches.
If the patient has rheumatism and other diseases, the wound healing time will be longer, and the removal of stitches will be later, it may take about three weeks, at this time may also need to wrap the gauze.
In addition, there are some people who have suffered serious damage to the surrounding tissues when the finger tendon was injured, such as crushing injuries, with extensive necrosis, in which case the skin will also heal a little slower, and the removal of stitches will take longer, with gauze wrapping for a longer period of time.
Everyone is different, and it is uncertain whether gauze wrapping is necessary after 20 days of finger tendon stitches, which should be decided by the doctor.
