The StayFIX Fixation Device should remain secure
for up to seven days. After seven days (sooner
if the StayFIX Fixation Device becomes loose for
any reason) you need to remove the old StayFIX
Fixation Device and replace it with a new one.
Inspect the StayFIX Fixation Device daily to make
sure that it is still holding the implanted device
securely. If the StayFIX Fixation Device becomes
loose, remove it and replace it with a new StayFIX
Fixation Device.
The StayFIX Fixation Device can get wet, but
avoid soaking in water for an extended amount of
time. Avoid touching the StayFIX Fixation Device
until it has dried completely. Again, if the StayFIX
Fixation Device becomes loose, remove it and
replace it with a new StayFIX Fixation Device.
