A member asked:
What to do about removing crusty blood from meniscus surgery so the sutures don't come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
H2O2: We all use hydrogen peroxide to remove the dried and "crusty" blood from incision lines. The sutures really shouldn't come out anyway - at least until your surgeon removes them.
