Description

Leukoplast Wound Closure Strips offer an innovative solution for managing superficial cuts, lacerations, and incisions without the need for stitches. Designed for both professional healthcare settings and self-treatment, these strips provide a non-invasive, atraumatic method for wound closure, eliminating the necessity for local anesthetic.

Key Features

• Material and Design: Each strip is crafted from a polyamide knitted fabric backing, coated with a UV-curing acrylic adhesive. The design includes rounded edges to prevent fraying, rolling, and curling, ensuring a secure and discreet fit.
• Flexibility and Breathability: The strips are flexible and elastic, allowing them to adapt to swelling, edema, and movement. They are breathable and permeable to moisture and air, reducing the risk of skin maceration.
• Skin-Friendly: These latex-free strips are well tolerated by the skin, offering low infection risk and favorable cosmetic outcomes. Application and removal are almost pain-free, enhancing user comfort.

Usage and Application

Available in various sizes and colors (white, beige, and natural), the strips are color-coded for easy identification. They are designed for single use and should be applied at a 90° angle to the wound, with equal gaps between strips to ensure optimal closure. The transparent, siliconised polyester liner is perforated at both ends for easy handling.

Packaging and Storage

Leukoplast Wound Closure Strips are available in packs of 3, 6, or 10 strips, with cartons containing up to 50 packs. They should be stored in cool, dry conditions, away from sunlight and humidity, to maintain their integrity over a shelf life of five years.

Sterilization and Safety

Sterilized with ethylene oxide according to ISO 11135 standards, these strips do not contain natural rubber latex, lanolin, colophony, BPA, PVC, microplastics, nanoparticles, fragrance, or antibiotics. This comprehensive list of exclusions underscores their commitment to safety and skin compatibility.
