3M Steri-Strip Skin Closures, Reinforced

This is another product I have chosen for my bug out bag. My wife and I have been in the medical field for over 30 years, and when we decided to put together a first aid kit, we decided that using a suture kit might cause more trauma that fixing. Steri strips are used in emergency rooms and even surgically for closing wounds. Yes there are times when sutures are more appropriate, but most people wouldn't have a clue how to properly use them. I might eventually get a suture kit, but for now I will use this 3m product.

I broke my arm and had to have an external stabelizer with four rods going through the skin into my arm. The rods caused the skin to tear. I used these narrow strips to prevent the tearing of the skin around the rods. The strips were very effective for this purpose.

These arrived on time and in good condition. They work well in dry areas on the skin. In any area that is moist, they let go and fall off. I augmented their attachment with a liquid bandage product. I put the liquid bandage on then the steri strip then some liquid bandage. I did not let the liquid bandage get too close to the wound and you have to be careful if the skin is thin or sensitive to the liquid bandage, if it is then just use the steri strips by them selves. Additionally, watch that tape from any bandaging doesn't get on the steri strip or when you change the bandage it is likely you will pull the steri strip(s) off as well.

Used these on a finger splint and had them wrapped around my finger for long periods of time.

They are strong and held up well to water, oils, rubbing, etc.

3M closure strips are the best I've tried so far and I've experimented with a bunch of brands from the local Rx stores.

An Emergency kit must and great to have on hand for those cuts that just do not qualify for a doctor's visit but could leave a scar if not closed up. I have used Steri Strips by 3M since the 1980's and have found them to be the answer to the Dr. Mom and or Nurse Mom role.

(When in doubt, always go to the doctor).
