• Provides wound support and assists in increasing the tensile strength of the wound
• Sterile, breathable, and comfortable to wear
• May allow early staple/suture removal
• A cost-effective alternative compared to sutures and tissue adhesives

3M™ Steri-Strip™Adhesive Skin Closures are indicated for use as a skin closure device in the treatment of lacerations and surgical incisions. Skin Closures may also be used in conjunction with skin sutures and staples or after their removal for wound support.

Do not use where good adhesion cannot be obtained due to the presence of exudate, skin oils, moisture, or hair.
Do not use on infected wounds.
Do not use in high tension wounds which cannot be easily approximated with fingers or forceps.   
 

To reduce the risk of infection, do not reuse strips and dispose of unused strips.
As with all adhesive products applied to the skin, a small percentage of individuals may experience skin irritation or injury during wear or removal.
Tension caused by post-operative edema, body/joint movement or applying skin closures under tension may cause skin injury, including blistering or loss of adhesion.  
Use with adhesive adjuncts may cause blisters or skin injury.
