- High-strength, reinforced adhesive strips designed for the non-invasive closure of larger incisions or lacerations
Uses
- Primary Wound Closure:
- Used to close surgical incisions and lacerations that are too large for smaller strips but may not require traditional sutures or staples
- Post-Operative Support:
- Applied after the removal of sutures or staples to provide ongoing tension relief and prevent the wound from dehiscence
- Wound Reinforcement:
- Ideal for use in areas of the body subject to stretching or movement where additional skin support is needed
Features
- Dimensions:
- Extra-large size measuring 1 inch by 4 inches
- Reinforced Material:
- Constructed with a non-woven backing reinforced with longitudinal fibers for high tensile strength
- Breathable & Porous:
- The translucent material allows for moisture vapor transmission, which helps maintain skin integrity and prevents maceration
- Hypoallergenic Adhesive:
- Pre-coated with a pressure-sensitive, medical-grade adhesive that is gentle on sensitive skin
- Sterile Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in sterile pouches to maintain an aseptic environment for surgical sites
- Latex-Free:
- Safe for all patients, including those with natural rubber latex allergies
Benefits
- Reduced Scarring:
- By providing uniform tension across the wound without the puncturing required for stitches, these strips help minimize scarring and "railroad track" marks
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- The flexible, conformable design moves with the skin, reducing the pulling sensation often associated with sutures
- Infection Control:
- The non-invasive application avoids creating new entry points for bacteria, and the sterile packaging ensures safety for immediate post-op use
- Time Efficiency:
- Significantly faster to apply and remove than sutures, making them a preferred choice in high-volume emergency and surgical settings
