3M Steri-Strip Skin Closure, sized 1/4 in by 3 in, is packaged as a box of 50 with three strips per sheet. The transparent backing is moisture vapor permeable, enabling breathability at the wound site during early healing and potentially reducing maceration risk. Each strip is reinforced with filaments to improve tensile strength and resist peel‑off under normal movement, supporting reliable edge approximation for short-duration closures. These closures are intended for primary wound closure of lacerations and incisions, offering a quick, minimally invasive option for skin approximation when sutures are not required.
