Instead, I’ll just list all the key wound care-related supplies I was provided with (or told to buy) as one big group! Sometimes the hospital will provide supplies like they did for me, and sometimes you have to buy supplies yourself. On occasion, the surgeon will order supplies for you using a company like Edgepark or Byram, and they’ll bill your insurance and mail the items to your home. Unlike most of the items in my post phallo supplies reviews which you can (and probably should) buy while you’re still pre-op to prepare for your surgery date, I wouldn’t reccomend buying wound care related supplies before surgery without discussing it with your surgeon first. Different surgeons have different supplies that they reccomend, and what you need and how many of of each item you need depends on what you’ve had done in that particular stage. So while I am not necessarily reccommending that you buy these particular items right now without checking with your surgeon, I did include links to the items that I was given by the hospital so you can click and see a visual of what type of item I’m talking about if it sounds unfamiliar. Supplies: Antibacterial Soap [This is just soap because I should wash my hands before and after I touch my penis.] Aquacel Ag Advantage [This one is made with real silver so it can run on the expensive side. I place it over the open tip of my penis while it heals] Aquaphor Healing Ointment (14 oz jar) [A thick layer of Aquaphor is used to cover my split thickness graft site and applied twice daily]Aquaphor Ointment Body Spray (3.7 oz can) [The Aquaphor spray is great for adding a little moisturization touch up during the day] Bandage Roll Gauze (6-Ply 4-½” x 4-⅛yd sterile) [The Kerlix bandage rolls are used to prop up my penis too, and I go though a lot of these]Disposable gloves [I use gloves when I touch any open wounds]Disposable mesh underwear [I cut a hole in the mesh to stick my penis though to help prop it up]Disposable underpads [The Chux pads go on my bed to catch any blood]Flushable wipes [I still have a Lot of painful swelling in my original anatomy so isn’t comfortable to wipe with toilet paper yet]Gauze sponges (4x8" 12-ply sterile) [I use gauze squares to help prop up my penis]Gentle Foaming Cleanser [This can be used to clean my thigh in my daily shower]Medical tape [This helps secure the Adaptic and Aquacel]Non-adhering Dressing (5x9") [The Adaptic goes over my donor site which has been covered by a split thickness skin graft]Non-Adherent Dressing (8x3”) [I use Tefla to cover my leg when I need to put pants on to travel to my post-op apointments]Petrolatum Dressing [Xeroform can be used like Adaptic or placed under the glans ridge, but I didn’t have glansplasty in this stage]Other reviews: Reacher/grabber Lap desk Resistance bands -- source link
