3M Steri-Strip reinforced Skin Closures - 1/2" x 4" - 6 strip Envelopes

Adhesion of Steri-Strips is increased quite a bit by an application of "Compound Benzoin Tincture". More specifically Compound Benzoin Tincture is an adhesive adjunct. This is recommended by 3m, the maker of Steri-Strip. see there PDF on the subject, but I have tried it and it works much better. They still only stay on a couple of days for me if on a finger or someplace that gets used alot.

You apply a coat of Compound Benzoin Tincture to the area where the Steri-Strip will stick. Let it dry, or tack up, and then apply the Steri-Strip. It helps it survive water too, but water should still be avoided if possible. It is OK to get Compound Benzoin Tincture across the wound as well as the area you want to stick. It seals up the wound to some degree. Read about its use by the military on, and in, blisters, as well as to help stick blister bandages and mole skin better. I have heard that using super-glue under the strips works too. Haven't tried that yet.

BTW, I agree, Steri-Strips do work much better then Butterfly Bandages. They stick better especially with the above tip. Compound Benzoin Tincture would probably help butterfly bandages stick better too.

Steri-stips are not a good substitue for stitches on deep wounds that need internal stitches, or areas subject to movement. In those cases you probably need stitches.

I carry small amounts of Compound Benzoin Tincture, steri strips, Provodine Iodine, super-glue, and antibiotic ointment in my pack.

Often, wound closure is better done with these special strips. Not a band-aid. Not a butterfly closure. A different tool all together. Properly administered (study up!) these are fantastic for certain wound treatment needs.

my kid has stitches on his head, this is the product that doctor use, so I bought some online. it's stick enough to stay on but won't tear the skin when you take it off。it's breathable, so the skin won't get irritate.

What is there to say? It's the most economical place to buy steri-strips. This things are a lifesaver when you use blades as often as I do. They're 1/2" wide, and can easily be cut to half that if you want to ration them out.

Use them quick enough and you can prevent the need for stitches and prevent scarring. These things are great.
