Description

Key Features:

Reinforced Design: Made with a porous, non-woven backing coated with a pressure-sensitive, hypoallergenic adhesive and reinforced with strong polyester filaments. This reinforcement provides increased tensile strength and wound support.
Non-Invasive: Unlike sutures or staples, Steri-Strips are applied externally to the skin, which helps reduce tissue trauma and can lead to better cosmetic outcomes with less scarring.
Sterile and Breathable: Each strip is sterile, and the microporous material allows the skin to "breathe," reducing the risk of maceration and irritation.
Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Designed with a gentle, hypoallergenic adhesive to minimize skin irritation, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
Comfortable: Generally more comfortable for patients to wear than sutures.
Easy to Apply: Fast and simple to apply, which can save time in clinical settings.
Latex-Free: The product and its packaging are typically latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Cost-Effective: Often less expensive than other skin closure methods like sutures, staples, or some skin adhesives.
