Splinter Removal

Preparation & Expectations

What happens right after the procedure?

  • After the splinter is removed, the site of splinter removal should be cleansed with soap and water. An adhesive bandage or other small dressing should be applied.
  • Once the splinter is removed, there is usually good healing within 3 to 4 days without any long-term complications. If increasing redness, swelling, pain, or purulent discharge is noticed, a healthcare provider should be consulted.
