Product Overview

The 3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Skin Closures are designed for professional and home use to effectively close wounds without the need for sutures or staples. These reinforced strips provide strong, reliable closure while minimizing trauma to the skin.

This bulk pack includes 20 envelopes, each containing 6 sterile strips, for a total of 120 strips, ensuring you have an ample supply for multiple applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Reinforced Design: The polyester material with reinforcement provides extra strength and durability, reducing the risk of premature failure.
• Breathable Material: Allows moisture vapor to escape, keeping the wound dry and promoting faster healing.
• Gentle Adhesive: Adheres securely yet removes gently, minimizing pain and skin irritation upon removal.
• Sterile and Individually Wrapped: Each strip is sterile and packaged in a convenient envelope for easy access and maintenance of sterility.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for surgical incisions, lacerations, and other wounds where primary closure is needed.
• Cost-Effective: Bulk pack of 120 strips provides excellent value for clinics, hospitals, and home first aid kits.

How to Use

Clean and dry the wound area thoroughly. Apply the Steri-Strip across the wound, perpendicular to the incision line, ensuring good adhesion. For larger wounds, apply multiple strips spaced evenly. Avoid stretching the skin excessively. To remove, gently peel from the ends toward the center, supporting the skin to minimize discomfort. Change strips as directed by a healthcare professional or when soiled.
