How Long Should Staples Remain In A Scalp Laceration. The
how long should staples remain in a scalp laceration. The nursing home my mom was in would not take them out because it is leaking blood still. (The House Doctor raised her warfarin and so her INR was up to 5. It's now at 4, and dopping because the drug was discontinued for the moment). I'm wondering what I should do the staples are in and have been for 14 days tomorrow.
