One of my staples came out while I was cleaning the incision...

I dab hydrogen peroxide on my incision at least once or twice daily to keep the area clean. I'm always gentle about it. This morning as I was doing this, one of my staples came out. It wasn't painful, but I'm a bit worried about the incision opening. I've had the staples in 20 days and I'm not getting them out till Thursday. Have they been in long enough to have healed the site adequetly?
