How To Loosen The Bandage Tape Without Harming The Skin?
Hi: I had a chest drainage tube removed Tuesday of this past week. The bandage was put on with hospital quality clear tape. It is very difficult to remove the tape and the subsequent dressing. Any suggestions as to how I can loosen up the tape so it doesn t pull my skin off?
