The Leukostrip Wound Closure Strip is an advanced adhesive wound closure solution designed for secure, non-invasive closure of small wounds, surgical incisions, and lacerations. These sterile strips provide a gentle, effective alternative to sutures or staples, minimizing trauma to the skin while offering strong wound support to facilitate optimal healing. Made from breathable, flexible material with a low-allergenic adhesive, Leukostrip ensures patient comfort, quick application, and a reduced risk of infection or scarring.

Key Features:

• Sterile and Ready-to-Use: Each Leukostrip is individually packaged and sterile, ensuring safe, contamination-free application, making them ideal for both clinical and emergency settings.

• Microporous Non-Woven Material: The strips are constructed from a breathable, non-woven polyester material that allows airflow to the wound, supporting faster healing and minimizing the risk of maceration, while providing a durable and flexible wound closure.

• Low-Allergenic Adhesive: The strips feature a medical-grade adhesive that is gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or skin irritation. This makes Leukostrip suitable for patients with sensitive skin or for long-term wear.

• Wound Support: Leukostrip strips provide even tension distribution across the wound, helping to bring the wound edges together and reduce the risk of dehiscence (wound reopening). This even tension promotes faster healing and helps minimize scarring.

• Flexible and Conformable: Designed to be flexible, Leukostrip easily conforms to the natural contours of the body, ensuring secure adhesion even in areas that are subject to movement, such as joints, fingers, or the face.

Benefits:

• Non-Invasive Wound Closure: Leukostrip offers a non-invasive alternative to stitches or staples, reducing patient discomfort and eliminating the need for anesthetic during application or removal. This makes it particularly well-suited for minor wounds or post-surgical incisions.

• Minimizes Scarring: By holding wound edges securely in place, Leukostrip reduces tension on the skin, which can lead to improved cosmetic outcomes and minimal scarring compared to traditional sutures.

• Quick and Easy Application: The simple design allows healthcare providers or patients to apply the strips quickly and efficiently, reducing the need for complex wound closure techniques. The adhesive backing ensures a firm bond without the need for secondary fixation.

• Reduced Risk of Infection: Leukostrip’s non-invasive nature, combined with its breathable material, helps lower the risk of infection by keeping the wound clean and protected from contaminants, while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Indications for Use:

Leukostrip Wound Closure Strips are ideal for use on:

• Small cuts and lacerations
• Post-surgical incisions
• Minor traumatic wounds
• Skin tears
• Superficial wounds that do not require deep suturing

They are particularly effective in areas where sutures or staples may cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns, such as the face, neck, or hands.

Application:

1. Preparation: Clean the wound thoroughly using an appropriate wound cleanser or antiseptic. Ensure the surrounding skin is dry and free from oils or creams.
2. Application: Gently approximate the wound edges. Apply the Leukostrip starting from the center of the wound, pressing down evenly to ensure the strip adheres securely. Repeat this process along the length of the wound, applying additional strips as needed to ensure even closure.
3. Post-Application Care: The strips should remain in place for several days, depending on the wound's condition. Avoid getting the strips wet to ensure optimal adhesion. They can be covered with a sterile dressing for added protection.
4. Removal: When the wound has sufficiently healed, gently peel the strips off the skin, ensuring minimal trauma to the wound site.

Advantages Over Traditional Wound Closure:

• No Need for Sutures or Staples: Eliminates the discomfort and trauma associated with invasive suturing techniques.
• Fast Application: Great for use in emergency situations or for minor procedures where time-efficient closure is needed.
• Improved Aesthetic Results: Reduces the risk of suture marks and unsightly scarring.

The Leukostrip Wound Closure Strip is a superior choice for healthcare professionals and patients seeking a non-invasive, comfortable, and effective solution for wound closure. Its gentle adhesive, flexible design, and ability to reduce scarring make it ideal for small surgical wounds, cuts, and lacerations. Offering quick application and reliable performance, Leukostrip promotes faster healing and an improved patient experience.
