steri Strips

Just wondering how long I need to keep putting steri strips over my incisions ?
I am 19 days post op & have 1 more set left & just wondered if I should get some more tomorrow ?

Its different fir everyone. Ur nurse should of advised you, give her a ring if ur unsure.

I saw nurse at 8 days post op and she took plasters off and put steri strips on. Saw her again at 15 days post op and because theud been oozing/bleeding she put new steri strips on and told me to have a shower in 3 dats and taje them off after shower and then to put new ones on for another 3 days then thats it.

Laura once you have had strapping taken off can you still not shower and do they give u the steri strips or do we need to buy them?

I didnt have strapping. Depends how ur healing im allowed to shower today at 18 dats post op and the nurse giv me the steri strips.
