- Aqua Clear plasters provide waterproof protection for up to 12 hours, with a thin, breathable construction and an all-round seal against water, dirt and germs.
- Breathable Steri-Strip skin closures keep small wound edges together during healing.
Product Features and Materials
The 20-piece assortment includes three dressing types with different backings and sizes. Not made with natural rubber latex.
- Ultra Stretch Flexible Comfort: 6 at 2.2 x 5.7cm, 4 at 2.8 x 7.6cm, 2 at 4.45 x 5.1cm and 1 at 10 x 6cm.
- Aqua Clear Waterproof: 3 at 2.6 x 5.7cm and 2 at 6 x 8.8cm.
- Steri-Strip First Aid Skin Closures: 2 units, each containing 3 strips measuring 0.6 x 7.5cm.
How to Use
For the Steri-Strip skin closures:
- Clean and dry the skin, then remove excess hair.
- Fold one end of the liner and separate the strips individually.
- Bring the wound edges together with your fingers.
- Apply each strip without tension, using gentle but firm pressure. Smooth it from the centre towards the ends.
- Leave approximately 0.3cm between additional strips.
- To improve adhesion, additional closures may be placed parallel to the wound, approximately 1.2cm from the closure ends.
- For removal, support the skin and peel slowly towards the centre of the cut, keeping the strip close to the skin.
Caution & Storage
- For single use only. Reuse may damage the product or cause it to fail, and reusing skin closure strips increases the risk of infection.
- Use Steri-Strip skin closures under the direction of a doctor or healthcare provider for small cuts and wounds alongside sutures or staples, or for wound support after their removal.
- Do not use Steri-Strip closures where wound fluid, skin oils, moisture or hair prevent secure adhesion.
- Do not use Steri-Strip closures on puncture wounds or wounds that are dirty or infected.
- Consult a healthcare provider if you notice fever, pain, swelling, itching, rash or burning, as these may be signs of infection.
- Do not use Steri-Strip closures on wounds under high tension whose edges cannot easily be held together with your fingers.
- Do not use Steri-Strip closures to secure tubing or other items.
- Skin adhesives may cause irritation, discolouration or skin injury during wear or removal.
- With Steri-Strip closures, tension from postoperative swelling, body or joint movement, or application under tension may cause skin injury, blistering or loss of adhesion.
- Using Steri-Strip closures with additional adhesive products may cause blisters or skin injury.
- Seek immediate medical assistance for a deep wound that is bleeding continuously.
- Stop use and consult a doctor if discomfort or pain develops, continues or worsens.
- Read the label before use and use only for the stated purposes. Report any serious product-related incident to 3M and the local competent authority.
- Store at room temperature, away from heat and humidity.
- Do not use after expiry, or if the expiry date is missing or unreadable.
- Dispose of used products in accordance with local guidelines.
