Description
Leukosan Wound Closure Strips are a great option for topical skin closure due to their atraumatic painless application, low infection risk and good cosmetic results. Thanks to its knitted elastic fabric, the Leukosan Wound Closure Strips represent the latest state of development, adding yet more benefits to the list. The knitted elastic fibres of the strip allows the wound to heal without additional trauma to the surrounding skin.
The Leukosan Wound Closure Strips are made of a permeable fabric and allows the skin to breathe without moisture colleting under the strip. The skin-friendly adhesive keeps the dressing securely in place and reduces the risk of skin irritation. The strips have round edges and curved polyamide threads which prevents rucking and allows the dressing to expand and contract to accommodate oedema, without the risk of blistering
Sizes:
- 3mm x 75mm, 10 x 5 Strips
