Lenora Leonard replied to the topic dressing over venepuncture site in the forum
Miscellaneous 5 years, 10 months agoHello Edith
I would always recommend putting a plaster or small dressing over the venepuncture site. You are breaking the skin and there is a risk of bleeding or infection if the open site gets dirty.
Kind regards
