Clexane and wound healing

[Awkward customer 5]

It is 12 days since my band was fitted. The doctor prescribed 28 days of Clexane injections to prevent a DVT (as I had a DVT in my leg once). I am wondering whether Clexane prevents the wounds from healing quickly? My 2 inch wound is not weeping or anything like that, but the scab is still there, and has not given way to normal skin yet. I thought these wounds were meant to be healed in 2 weeks?

I don't know what DVT or clexane is, but my incisions were scabbed, a bit, still at two weeks. There were two incisions that a stitch was poking out of, and until that stitch was snipped and removed, it didn't completely close.

Do cuts on you normally take a while to heal over?

Yes cuts normally heal OK, but I think clexane, in order to prevent DVTs, is an anticoagulant. I think this may mean my scabs heal more slowly.
