3M Steri Strips are the standard in medical adhesive skin closures. They are trusted for their convenience, ease of use and non-invasive design. The microporous material is designed to allow the skin to breathe and the reinforced filaments provide added strength.
The non-invasive design allows for a more cosmetically preferable outcome to wound healing compared to sutures and less trauma to the skin/wound area. They also allow for early removal of sutures/staples allowing patients to return to their normal routines sooner.
