Ethistrip Skin Closures are designed for wound closure and are often used as an alternative to sutures or staples. They are made from a porous, non-woven material that allows for breathability and flexibility, promoting better healing. The adhesive used is hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of skin irritation. These closures are typically used in medical settings for minor cuts, surgical incisions, and other wounds that require a secure closure without the need for invasive procedures. |
