3M™ Steri-Strip™ is a sterile skin closure strip that is made of a porous, non-woven backing coated with a pressure-sensitive, hypoallergenic adhesive and reinforced with polyester filaments for added strength. It enhances patient comfort; provides less scarring and less chance of infection; and reduces the likelihood of skin irritation. It is used in providing wound support following early suture or staple removal; and is appropriate for low tension wounds.
