Hello I'm Yerin Kim  struggling with mouse wound healing research.

I've just made full excisional wounds on mouse back and put Tegaderm film(3m) to protect it from infections.

And I found that these dressings should be changed everyday from few papaers.

But I realized that there are quite amount of missed skin tissues when the Tegaderm films are changed to new ones.( because the film is sticky)

Because I'm planning to work on Protein & RNA work and also many histological assays with thses skin tissuses, I'm wondering if these skin tissues losses by changing dressing can affect the results.

Should I have to change dressing everyday?

Thank you for reading my question :)
