For a bleeding incision, it is important to contact your healthcare provider before showering. Active bleeding may indicate that the incision needs medical evaluation rather than simply a waterproof covering.
In general, waterproof wound covers or shower protectors are sometimes used to help keep incisions dry, but they are not a substitute for medical guidance when bleeding is present. You can browse available wound care and protective products here: Wound Care & First Aid.
