3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Adhesive Skin Closures R1543
3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Adhesive Skin Closures R1543 are sterile wound closure strips with reinforced filaments for added strength. They use a microporous, non-woven backing and a hypoallergenic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Ideal for closing small surgical incisions or lacerations with minimal tissue trauma.
These closures help support wound edges while allowing the skin to breathe, which can reduce scarring compared to staples or sutures. The reinforced strands improve tensile strength so the strips stay in place even with mild tension. Designed for ease of use, the adhesive activates with light finger pressure and promotes reliable adhesion in clinical settings. They are suitable for use in operating rooms, clinics, emergency departments, and following early suture or staple removal.
