Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Approximate and reinforce small port incisions, skin nicks, and biopsy sites, either alone or as an adjunct after deeper closure.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
Steri-Strip™ closures approximate low-tension superficial skin edges with adhesive strips, distinguishing them from liquid skin adhesive and from sutures used for deeper or higher-tension closure.
