Steri-strips... Should they be pulled? Or changed? (photo)

March 15, 2014
Asked By:DD2014

8days post TTop, today got the dressing changed. My ques is abt the "steri-tapes" which r there under my bandaid. Today nurse wanted to REMOVE the steri-strips, clean incision & put new knes again. But i read abt steri-strips that they need no removal as they fall off on their own. So i stopped her, she only changed the dressing. Now m worried if not letting her remove my steri-strips & clean the wound was a gud idea! I hope i dont get any infection in it, its healing well sofar.
