3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Adhesive Skin Closures R1544
3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Adhesive Skin Closures R1544 are sterile wound closure strips made with reinforced filaments for added strength. They have a breathable, non-woven backing and a hypoallergenic adhesive. They are used to support wound edges and reduce tension without invasive suturing.
These reinforced closures help improve tensile strength over standard strips, supporting healing by maintaining skin edge alignment. Their sterile, microporous backing allows skin to breathe, which helps reduce risk of infection and improves comfort. The hypoallergenic adhesive is gentle yet strong, designed for safe use even on sensitive skin. These closures are used in clinical and surgical settings for incisions, lacerations, or after suture/staple removal.
