Key Benefits

• Secure Wound Closure: Provides strong, reliable closure for minor cuts, lacerations, and surgical incisions, holding wound edges together effectively.
• Enhanced Healing: Allows for natural skin movement, promoting comfort and potentially reducing scarring compared to traditional sutures.
• Reduced Infection Risk: Sterile packaging ensures aseptic application, minimizing the risk of infection.
• Breathable Design: Porous material allows air to reach the skin, preventing maceration and supporting the natural healing process.
• Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Gentle on the skin, reducing the likelihood of irritation or allergic reactions.
• Non-Invasive: An excellent alternative to stitches for superficial wounds, providing a less painful and easier application.

How to Use

1. Cleanse the Wound: Gently clean the wound and surrounding skin with an antiseptic solution (e.g., alcohol prep pad) and ensure it is dry.
2. Approximate Edges: Gently bring the edges of the wound together using your fingers.
3. Apply First Strip: Peel a Steri-Strip from its backing. Apply one end of the strip to one side of the wound, about 1/8 to 1/2 inch from the wound edge.
4. Secure the Strip: Pull the strip gently across the wound to maintain wound edge approximation and press the other end firmly onto the opposite side of the wound.
5. Apply Additional Strips: Apply additional strips parallel to the first, spaced approximately 1/8 inch apart, until the wound is securely closed.
6. Reinforce (Optional): For added security, apply two strips across the ends of the applied Steri-Strips, perpendicular to the wound.
7. Removal: Remove strips when advised by a healthcare professional or when they begin to naturally lift, typically after 5-7 days. Gently peel back from the ends towards the wound.

Caution & Warnings

• Do not apply to infected wounds unless directed by a healthcare professional.
• Ensure skin is clean and dry before application to maximize adhesion.
• Avoid stretching the strips too tightly, which can cause blistering or skin trauma.
• If redness, swelling, increased pain, or discharge occurs, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• For single use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Keep out of reach of children.
