Application & Use
Steri-Strip closures are commonly used on minor surgical incisions and clean skin tears where wound edges can be gently approximated without tension, across settings including emergency departments, general practice, and wound care clinics. Compared with sutures or staples, adhesive strips are generally quicker to apply and remove, and may be associated with reduced scarring and lower infection risk when used appropriately for a suitable wound - though suitability depends on the wound type, so clinical judgement should guide their use.
