Description:
They are placed transversely to the wound and keep its edges close together for faster and less visible healing. Indeed, because of their very uniform tension and their length which ensures a good support, they offer an optimal approach of the edges of the wound.
Steri-Strips can also be used to replace sutures or staples that have failed early. They can also be combined with a conventional suture to reinforce wound support.
Highly resistant, they retain their qualities even in a humid environment. Reinforced with polyester fibres, they remain microporous to allow the skin to breathe. Developed without latex, their adhesive is hypoallergenic and non-traumatic. They thus present very little risk of infection or tissue breakage.
