Urgo Strips Suture Strip 10U

Directions for Use:

1. Clean and dry the wound thoroughly. Ensure the skin surrounding the wound is clean and dry before application.
2. Peel the protective backing from the strip, avoiding touching the adhesive part.
3. Align the strip across the wound edges, bringing them together gently but firmly.
4. Apply the strip to one side of the wound edge and then gently stretch it across the wound, adhering it to the other side. Do not overstretch.
5. Smooth the strip down to ensure proper adhesion. Avoid wrinkles or bubbles.
6. Repeat as necessary to close the entire wound, leaving a small gap (approximately 2-3mm) between each strip.
7. Trim any excess strip material using sterile scissors.

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 sooner. Consult a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

Additional Tips:

1. For optimal adhesion, avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the area around the wound before application. 2. Do not apply the strips to infected wounds. Seek medical advice if you suspect an infection. 3. Protect the strips from excessive moisture. Cover the wound with a waterproof dressing if necessary, especially when showering or bathing. 4. If bleeding persists, apply direct pressure and seek medical attention. 5. If redness, swelling, or increased pain occurs around the wound, consult a healthcare professional.
