CURAD Sterile Medi-Strip Reinforced Wound Closures – Butterfly-Style Suture Alternative

When sutures aren't an option but a wound needs to stay closed, these are what real first-aid pros reach for. CURAD Medi-Strip Reinforced Wound Closures use a high-strength reinforced nylon-fiber backing to hold cuts and lacerations closed — just like sutures, but without needles or stitches. A must-have for any IFAK, trauma kit, or family first-aid box.

Key Features:

• Sterile, individually packed — clean, infection-safe wound closure
• Reinforced nylon filament backing — exceptional pull strength
• Hypoallergenic adhesive — gentle on skin, reduces irritation
• Latex-free — safe for sensitive users
• Stays in place up to 7 days without re-application
• Spun-bonded fiber allows airflow for healing
• Color-coded packaging for fast size identification
• Sterile until opened — long shelf life for emergency kits

How They Work: Apply a Medi-Strip across a clean, closed wound to hold the edges together while the skin heals. They're a proven alternative to sutures or staples for shallow cuts, lacerations, and post-surgical incisions — and they're routinely used by paramedics, ER nurses, military medics, and outdoor pros.

Available Sizes:

• 1/4" x 3" — small cuts, finger lacerations
• 1/4" x 4" — medium cuts, extremities
• 1/2" x 4" — larger lacerations, deeper closures

Why Medi-Strips Belong in Every Kit: You can't always get to an ER. Whether you're hours from help in the backcountry, riding out a disaster, or just dealing with a kitchen knife slip, Medi-Strips let you close a wound, stop bleeding pressure points, and prevent scarring — buying you time and stability until you can get proper care.
