Could Wafer And Mylar Disc Be Removed To Abscess The Drain?
I have an abscess drain (my third one in the past 3 months) I keep getting seromas and infected abscesses due to a hernia repair with an Alloderm graft 5 months ago. I am flushing my own drain with 10cc s of saline and am confident I can pull my own drain (it is not sutured into the skin)....it s a size 14 tubing...I can remove the wafer and mylar disc and just pull, right?

Hello Dear. Do not do anything without consulting your doctor. You need to go to your surgeon periodically once in few days as suggested by him/her and get the procedure done. Also ask your doctor you can do yourself at home. Do not become a doctor of your own. It may do more harm than good.
