3M Steri-Strip Sterile skin closure strips that are made of a porous, non-woven backing coated with a pressure-sensitive, hypoallergenic adhesive and reinforced with polyester filaments for added strength. Reinforced Steri-Strip skin closures provide general wound support for increased tensile strength and finer wound edge approximation.

Good to have on hand for the first aid kit.
It's exactly what it says on the label. A set of strips to close up the result of whatever unfortunate incident one might have with disagreeable sharp objects. Decently sticky and not too expensive for the quantity, even comes with a nice little plastic tray in the box to keep things from flapping about if you have them on a shelf somewhere instead of tucked into a storage pocket in your kit. The tabs on the strips are a little finicky if you haven't used them before, I should mention, so considering one gets fifty of these in a box, I would recommend popping one or two open for a little practice use to avoid difficulties when they're actually needed.

Steristrips are easier than stitches
These are easy to apply and can replace stitches in most instances (though when in doubt, it's best to seek medical care). The Steristrips are able to accommodate cuts of different sizes; you just use as much as you need. I've found that the 1/4" works much better for cuts than the 1/8", which did not seem to keep the sides of the wound approximated as well and tended to fall off. If I am going to garden, I often cover the area with Coban (a dressing that sticks to itself; also available here on Amazon), so that it stays clean and the Steristrips are protected & reinforced.The box came sealed in the original plastic, which is also reassuring.

Great product
I had surgery on my foot and bandages weren't helping because it kept ripping the scabs off around the incision. When I use these strips, it helped close the incision and blocked my scabs from peeling to early. I would definitely buy this again

Great value!!!
These can be used in cases of emergency to seal a minor wound (that maybe should have sutures, yes only in emergency cases) the steri strips pull the skin closed to bind the wound for better healing... for EXTREME cases you can use with super-glue!!
