Adhesive skin sutures Oper Strips, 25 x 125 mm. Box of 50 envelopes of 4 units

Oper Strips offer a non-invasive alternative to traditional suturing methods when treating minor and shallow wounds. Made from biocompatible materials, they are able to adhere firmly to the skin and effectively resist tension and mechanical stress. For all these reasons, they are extremely easy to apply, do not cause trauma when removed, and their use does not cause aesthetic changes in the wound area.

Application Procedure
- Choose the appropriate size considering the dimension of the laceration.
- Before applying them, properly clean, rinse and dry the area to promote the adhesion of the strips.
- Check the integrity of the primary packaging to ensure its sterility before proceeding with any subsequent step.
- Open the package, remove a dressing from the silicone card to which they are attached and place it. Use as many adhesive strips as you consider necessary.
- If you are going to use Oper Strips without mechanical sutures, first place one end of the tape perpendicular to the cut and in the center of the section. Then, join the lips of the wound and stick the rest of the strip. Continue placing as many Oper Strips as you consider necessary, always ensuring that they are arranged in parallel and have a margin of between 2 and 5 millimeters between them.
- To reduce tension on the wound, you can place an adhesive at each end of the group of strips perpendicular to them.
- It is advisable to check the wound after removing the product to ensure that it has healed correctly.

Precautions
- Do not apply if the lesion shows signs of infection
- Do not apply if there is any hypersensitivity to any acrylic derivative
- Do not apply on wounds healing by secondary intention
- Do not apply if there is too much tension on the surrounding skin
- Do not apply if correct adhesion cannot be achieved, such as in areas with high hair density, irregular areas or exudating surfaces
- Do not apply on deep cuts or with rough edges, except in emergencies and only to keep the wound closed until the patient can be properly attended to
- Before applying them, the skin should be checked to make sure it is clean, dry and free of residues that may affect their adhesion or infect the underlying incision
- Do not remove abruptly after use to avoid injury.
