Adhesive Closure Strips
Captions available
The idea
After sutures or staples come out, adhesive closure strips may be applied across the incision to support it.
In practice
Using no-touch technique, cut strips long enough to extend about one and a half to two inches on each side of the incision.
Where people slip
Document the strips you applied along with the appearance of the incision.
