Description
The closure, skin reinforced, the strip is a reinforced adhesive skin closure that complies to the worldwide standard in adhesive skin closure. It is trusted for its simplicity, easy application, convenience, and non-invasive design. The strength of adhesive closure comes from its backed material of rayon that is not woven. Since the backing is non-woven, the design is breathable and easy for patients using it. The non-invasive design help reduces scarring.
The breathable adhesive strips are made up of polymer filaments that provide reliable and strong closure of skin lacerations and incisions. Hence, adhesive skin closure is a low-cost alternative to tissue adhesives and sutures. The tensile strength of adhesive closure is more effective for wound support than sutures. Their adaptability is also helpful in removing early staples, surgical incisions, and lacerations.
