Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 So, when I had the staples out on day 7 the wound on the right side was stapled a little " off " and they put on some steri-strips to hold it together. Everything has seemed really well sealed, but last night (day 21) one f the steri-strips popped off and tore the incision, leaving about a .5-.75cm long " gap " right at the apex of the curve (the incision for the C+ starts vertically and then curves back. It appears to be pretty superficial. I wiped the spot down with an iodine pad and dressed it with sterile gauze and paper tape. Anybody have this happen before? Should I just get some steri-strips to hold it closed? No inflammation or other sign of potential infection. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
