STERI STRIP R Wound closure system

3M Steri-Strip is a wound closure tape made of non-woven fabric, hypoallergenic and microporous, reinforced by longitudinal polyester fibers. These fibers make the tape able to bear the stretching coming from the woung. The support is made of rayon crossed fibers that create a microporous structure and permeable to steam, ensuring wound aeration and avoiding skin damages. The tape is made of an hypoallergenic acrylic copolymer, high resistant to the horizontal traction thanks to its excellent durable grip. After 24 hours from the 3M Steri-Strip tape application, the real strength appears and stays unchanged for days. The tape removal is atraumatic, since the adhesive ability easily collapses to vertical traction. These strips are suitable to close cuts and surgical wounds, for plastic surgery and for children. 3M Steri-Strip can also be used for metallic or cord suture, to give support to the wound and to minimize the risk of abscess or necrosis. They perfectly stick to the skin for a long time and they can be easily removed. For professional use only. Crossed rayon fibers. Adhesive side made of acrylic copolymer that ensures an excellent skin tolerance and a low risk of allergic reactions. Atraumatic removal and with minimal adhesive residue upon removal. Does not contain latex or natural rubber.
