The Leukostrip wound suture strips are reinforced strips made of 100% polyamide with a hypoallergenic adhesive layer that allows for virtually painless wound closure. Commonly used in hospital emergency departments and operating theatres. The strips are quick and easy to apply and keep the wound edges of a laceration or cut together. Wound healing is promoted because the tensile strength of the wound increases rapidly.

The material is elastic and stretches if swelling occurs. Leukostrip returns to its original shape after the swelling has subsided. By replacing sutures on the third postoperative day with a wound suture with Leukostrip, scarring at the site of the insertion opening is minimized so that an unsightly "zipper effect" can be prevented as much as possible. Leukostrip can also be combined with subcutaneous or intracutaneous sutures or used in addition to staples.

Advantages of the Leukostrip:

• Supple - The polyamide material is elastic and returns to its original shape after absorption of edema. As a result, the wound edges are well pressed against each other, which gives a nice cosmetic result.
• Helps protect the wound against tensile and shear forces - Leukostrip does not traumatize the wound edges, ensures almost painless wound closure and minimizes scar formation.
• Permeable - Leukostrip is permeable to air and water vapor and therefore reduces the risk of maceration.
• Hypoallergenic - The microporous adhesive layer is hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
• Reliable adhesive strength - The strips stick well and securely.
