 Post-Surgery Foot Soaking Instructions
Follow these steps for proper soaking techniques after surgery:1. Remove the dressing the morning after surgery.

water.
3. Soak your foot 15 minutes, once or twice a day, for 7-10 days.
4. Dry your foot and carefully clean the surgical site to remove any dried or
residual drainage.
5. Apply a small amount of Neosporin Cream or Polysporin Cream to involved area.
6. Cover with a Band-Aid and change with each soak.
7. It is normal to see some fluid or drainage when you change the Band-Aid.
