Excellent "steri-strips" May 14, 2011
By Retired Navy Guy
"Chief Cook & Bottle Washer, Gardner, litter box cleaner, fix-it guy, neighborhood dog/cat/ chicken/armadillo chaser & vet., AND, 'honey-do' expert."
Typically high quality of 3M product. STRONG packaging to insure sterility is maintained even with rough handling or laying in first aid kit in trunk or car or back pack.
All in package were well sealed. Opened one set to test and they are VERY adhesive to skin. Yes if you try this on your arm you will lose a tiny bit of hair! Hold well under warm running water too. They also flex properly with out "crinkling" while being VERY strong. You are not going to tear these, you will need scissors to cut them if you need to do so.
Remember they are ONLY for skin closure of small or shallow wounds and not a substitute for proper medical care for a more serious wound except in emergency and SHORT-TERM (few hours) first aid situations. Also remember these are NOT a bandage, they have no protective pad to keep out dirt or aid in hemostasis. They are ONLY wound closure strips. If if in a dirty environment you will need to not only clean wound as well as possible, put a protective sterile pad OVER the steri-strips and tape it.

Excellent Wound Closures - Highly Recommended Jun 05, 2011
By C. F. Hill
"CFH"
These 3M "Steri Strip Skin Closures" are excellent for holding the edges of shallow wounds together and, importantly, did not irritate my very sensitive skin (3M adhesives seem to be the least reactive for me). These stick very well and hold up to sweat and water as well. After applying, I covered the wound site with a sterile non-stick pad and that worked nicely.
These are not for deep wounds, but do make a useful addition to an emergency kit when hiking or camping.
Highly Recommended!

essential for a lightweight med kit Sep 16, 2011
By Christopher D. Sutcliff
"Chris Sutcliff"
I keep three of these in my med kit for backpacking. Thin adhesive strips which can be used to close small wounds like a butterfly closure. I find them to stick better and contour to the skin better than butterfly closures especially on elbows and knees.

Best thing in a kitchen emergency Nov 11, 2011
By The Chief
The first time I saw these was when I Put a kitchen knife them my finger nail and almost thew my finger..... don't ask. The Dr. in the ER couldn't sucher the aria well so they used these. Recently I managed to cut my pinky across the pad, still not sure how. I have them in my first aid kit in the car so I made some one go out and get the kit. We cleaned the wound, I could move my finger with no trouble so I wasn't worried about cutting a tendon so closed it up. I went back to work figuring I would hit urgent care on the way home. I never had a need. They stopped the bleeding, I used non stick gauze pad and med take to keep it clean. no need for a medical bill, and I can tell us from experience they are a lot less invasive then stitches, healing time is cut in half assuming you take care of the wound and the cut isn't to deep.

convenient thin small packages (shipped in a small envelope) Feb 29, 2012
By Brice
These strips are conveniently packaged in sterile plastic envelopes. These days you are better off to seal an open cut with something like this after the area has been irrigated. Three of these strips will do a fine job of closing off a cut long enough to get the emergency medical crew on the scene. Ten of these packs came in a regular envelope so be careful. I didn't pay any attention to the envelope because it looked just like any other piece of mail that I normally toss aside. It was a normal white envelope (#9) type. Be on the lookout for this if you order one. I did manage to get them put away into my emergency medical kit before they got lost. Make sure you do the same.
