Steri-Strip Reinforced Adhesive Skin Closures
Reinforced adhesive skin closure strips used for closing minor wounds and incisions without sutures, valued for their simplicity and non-invasive design. It is a standard item in dental and medical practice.
Steri-Strip Reinforced Adhesive Skin Closures are the standard adhesive skin closure product referenced widely in wound care, used as a non-invasive alternative or complement to sutures for closing minor wounds, lacerations and certain surgical incisions. Each strip is made of a porous, non-woven backing coated with an adhesive on one side and reinforced with fine threads running along its length, which increases the strip's tensile strength and holding power compared with a simple adhesive strip, helping the wound edges stay approximated while healing takes place.
Being non-invasive, these closures avoid the additional puncture wounds and local trauma that come with suturing, and they can often be applied without local anaesthesia, which is one reason clinicians favour them for suitable, low tension wounds. Their simplicity also means they can be applied quickly in outpatient, emergency or minor procedure settings.
Physicians, nurses and emergency clinicians use Steri-Strip Reinforced closures across hospital, clinic and emergency department settings whenever a wound is a good candidate for adhesive rather than suture based closure.
