Size: 10 Pack
Steri-Strips are a state-of-the-art wound-management tool that can speed healing, reduce the chance of infection or other complications, minimize scaring, and even avoid a need for sutures. The versatility & effectiveness of these make it a product that everyone should have in his or her first aid kit. This particular listing is a super great buy given how pricy these generally are ($10 for a 10-pack is a fantastic buy on Steri-Strips.) This specific size (4x0.5 inches) can handle wounds of all sizes (and can easily be trimmed for smaller wounds.)
===WHAT’S A Steri-Strip???===
More or less, 3M Steri-Strips are a product that takes the traditional butterfly closure into the 21st century, with more uses & better healing outcomes. Steri-Strips can be used in place of sutures (or in combo with them), and can be used with wounds of varying levels of severity. They can be used in places where butterfly closures, staples, or stitches are not practical or possible. With the correct usage of Steri-Strips, users can achieve better outcomes in wound healing compared to treatment with other methods.
===WHY STERI-STRIPS OVER LESS EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS? (ex: standard butterfly closures)===
As you can see, the price on Steri-Strips isn’t exactly cheap (60 Steri-Strips cost more than 300 butterfly closures.) For me, that triggered the question of, “what features do Steri-Strips have that justifies this higher purchase price?” After looking into it, I felt the higher price was completely justified based on…
---Reduced Risk of Infection – Steri-Strips are sold in a sterile package (so the product that makes contact with an open wound is sterile, reducing the chance of infection.Read more ›

Bought these for the intended purpose of closing a cut. On a bleeder they are worthless as the adhesion was not good and they came off.
My uncle who was a medic in WWII taught me a technique used in the war (which I will share) to close a wound and it still is the best thing I have found short of stitches sewing a wound closed.
The technique is very simply; take a strip of bandage tape and in the approximate center of the length of tape, make two cuts on the side of the tape about one third into the width of the tape. The spacing between the two cuts will depend on the size of the wound. Then on the opposite side of the tape make two identical cuts directly across from the first two cuts. Now fold in the first panel to the underside of the the center portion of the tape that was not cut and it will stick. Then fold in the second panel in and it will stick to the center portion of the tape. You now have a strip of tape with a narrow area in the center of the length of tape that has no exposed adhesive and is three layers thick. It will look like a sideways letter H. This area of non-adhesive is placed perpendicular over the cut you are going to close. The cut out portion of the tape does not stick to the actual wound and the ends of the tape with the adhesive are used to pull the wound together and stick on either side of the wound to hold it closed. What you have created is a battlefield stitch. Use as many of these as needed across the wound to pull it closed and stop the bleeding. The size of the Battlefield Stitch is determined by the width of the tape used. I have used these on several occasions to close long razor like cuts when scuba divers have teased a Moray Ell and found out how sharp those teeth are. I used a large piece of tape in the photo to show what the cut tape looks like.
