What is the Correct Way to Pack a Deep Wound on the Incision?

Pittsburgh8207
I'm 5 weeks post op but last week my dr had to get a stitch out and it became this deep hole wound. He just told me to pack it with gauze twice a day, completely dry, not saline, nothing. When this happened to my mom years ago I had to use saline on it. I'm worried.
