We observed a patient in training as he attempted to remove the scabs. He said it was irritating. What are everyones methods for getting the scabs off?
Also, do you put anything on the buttonholes inbetween txs to keep the scabs and the access supple (like A&D Ointment), or is it preferable not to?
We have already spoke about this before…
