Derma Sciences Shur-Strips Sterile Wound Closure Strips, 1/4 in x 3 in, Latex-Free
PRODUCT DETAILS
Derma Sciences Shur-Strips are sterile skin closure strips, 1/4 in x 3 in (6.4 mm x 76.2 mm), that hold the edges of a wound together to support healing. Each strip has a porous, non-woven backing coated with a pressure-sensitive, hypoallergenic adhesive. The strips are not elastic, so they keep the wound edges securely together, and they do not contain natural rubber latex.
An incision may be closed with stitches, staples or skin adhesive, and small sticky strips like these may be placed on the skin across the incision line. The strips fall off on their own once the incision has healed. Sold as 150 strips, three to an envelope.
