I got some steri-strips from my Doctor after my surgical procedure. They've held fast and have helped the wound heal naturally. Used in conjunction with the single stitch, my skin has healed with minimal scarring and tissue damage.

This review is from: 3M Steri-Strip Elastic Skin Closures - 1/2" x 4" -#R1547- One 6 strip envelope (Health and Beauty)

These are much better than butterfly closures. I cut them in half and tear them in half lengthwise for finger cuts (my wife is a nurse, she taught me this). When you adjust the thickness and length, they will work well in difficult locations. They adhere very well over Betadine that has been patted dry. I cut myself recently with a ceramic knife on a fingertip, the strips worked so well the scar line is nearly invisible. I've been stitched up countless times, in my opinion, Steristrips will often give a better result as it is easy to close & stabilize the wound with no puckering of the skin. Every med kit should have these. A wonderful product.

Had finger tip amputated via accident, and needed this item to cover stitches while finger was healing. Could NOT find this item anywhere. Researched Amazon, and what do you know, they carry just about EVERYTHING! Thanks Amazon for being as EXPANSIVE as you are!
