AZEN Zip-Stitch Wound Closure Devices, 10 Count

From the drawer

A small cut on a hike or a slip with a kitchen knife is when you want something better than a regular bandage. These closure strips stick to the skin on either side of a minor cut, then a zip-tie style track draws the two sides together. Pull the tabs to tighten, release them to adjust, and it holds the edges in place.

Each device is sealed in its own pack, so the ones you do not use stay clean. The adhesive is hypoallergenic and breathable, with enough strength to stay put through normal movement. We keep a few in the camping bag, the bike kit and the home drawer. They cover a small cut while it closes, and for anything deep, see a professional.
