Bsn Medical Leukoplast Wound Closure Strip 12x100mm 2x6U

Instructions for Use: 1. Clean and dry the wound thoroughly. Ensure the skin surrounding the wound is free from any creams, lotions, or oils. 2. Open the package carefully and remove a sterile wound closure strip. Avoid touching the adhesive part of the strip. 3. Gently bring the edges of the wound together. 4. Apply the first wound closure strip across the center of the wound, ensuring it adheres firmly to the skin on both sides. Do not stretch the strip while applying. 5. Apply additional strips parallel to the first one, spacing them approximately 2-3mm apart, until the entire wound is closed. 6. Ensure the rounded ends of the strips are facing outwards. 7. Gently press down on each strip to ensure proper adhesion.

Recommended Frequency: Leave the strips in place until they naturally fall off, typically within 5-10 days. Do not attempt to remove them prematurely. If the strips become wet or soiled, they may need to be replaced. Consult a healthcare professional if the wound shows signs of infection or does not heal properly.

Additional Tips: For optimal results, avoid applying the strips to joints or areas of high tension. Keep the wound area dry and avoid excessive movement. Do not apply the strips over infected wounds, deep cuts, or puncture wounds. Seek medical advice if the wound is deep, heavily bleeding, or shows signs of infection. These strips are not a replacement for stitches in cases of deep or complex wounds. Consult a healthcare professional if you are unsure about the suitability of these strips for your wound.
