3M Health Care is now Solventum, delivering the same trusted products under a new name.
3M Steri-Strip Elastic Skin Closures are made of a stretchable, latex-free material to allow for movement while closing and protecting wounds. These adhesive strips are often placed on shallow wounds where stitches or staples traditionally would have closed the wound. It is a trusted product to close the wound without the risk of infection that may stem from sutures or staples. There is also less scarring with this method and it saves time and money since it doesn't require a trip back to the clinic for suture removal.
Its non-woven elastic backing makes it less likely to introduce lint so that the wound bed is not disturbed. The material is beige to blend in with the skin. The backside contains a hypoallergenic, pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive for increased adhesion. After washing and patting dry the wound, some individuals benefit from applying a barrier film. 3M manufactures Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film when skin is sensitive. Steri-Strips will confidently adhere to the skin for up to seven days. Do not introduce water to the strip until at least 24 hours after application.
Each pack contains multiple sterile strips to close the wound. It is easy to apply and can be placed horizontally and vertically. Steri-Strip Skin Closures are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate the width and length of the wound. Choose from 1/8 x 3 inch strips (3M E4540), 1/4 x 3 inch strips (3M E4541) and 1/2 x 4 inch (3M E4547). The Steri-Strip brand Urinary Leg Bags in 500 to 1000 mL capacity.
