3M Skin Closures (Reinforced) are the standard for wound closure and wound support. 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.
