TIPS FOR TAKING A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH:

1) Hold the camera 8-12 inches from your skin 2) Do not use a flash 3) Take the photograph in a well-lit room 4) Be sure to show the entire incision and the area below the incision

(where the pacemaker or defibrillator sits under your skin)

Examples of good photos

Notice, the images are clear, and you can see the entire wound and the area around the wound.

Your incision may or may not have the strips like the photograph on the right

Examples of photos that we can’t use

In these photos, the wound and the area around the wound are cut off.

This picture is too dark for our nurses and doctors to evaluate the site.

Lastly, please make sure the camera is facing you when you take the photo!
