How Long After Transplant Can I Wear a Motorcycle Helmet?
I am having a transplant (strip) next week. My husband and I take frequent motorcycle trips and I am wondering when I can safely wear a helmet. They are by necessity tight fitting so they will rub while wearing them and when I put it on and take it off.
The helmet can not rub the donor area or it may cause wound problems. You might want to wait 3 or more weeks for the wound to heal and all staples or sutures to be removed. Check with your surgeon, of course.
