Zip Stitch Laceration Repair Without Stitches Butterfly Bandaids Quick Clot - Emergency Wound Closures Device 2 Pieces (Non-Woven Fabric)

Sooo amazing, had an open drainage, closed it in one night!!!!

Much easier to use than applying stitches

Working in a metal fab facility small cuts abound. These work great, close the wound and gets folks on their way.

Recently had a tummy tuck and had a spitting stitch. I put this over the wound and it closed it right up! I put a large bandage over it for added protection.

First time I used these. Did not hold after two days but maybe because it was in an awkward place , at the base of my thumb

Helps with cuts

This product is terrible. It looked great in theroy, but the application is difficult. It fell apart and was so stuck together that it broke on application. I gave it one star because there wasn't a zero option.

This order was to refill the depleted stock in our first aid kit because this type of wound closure is a vast improvement over plain butterfly or sterile-strips. Hospitals use this same type of closure now after surgeries since they are so effective and easy to use and remove. My mom had hip replacement surgery in early 2022, and instead of sutures or staples her incision was closed with a much larger version of this style of bandage. They're a better way to close a gaping wound when you need to take quickly action prior to going to the doctor's office or ER. You can still use wound pads and gauze to wrap such injuries, but with those you need to be concerned about wrapping the limb/digit too tightly and cutting off circulation or nerve sensation. Using this zip-closure bandage can help alleviate the potential damage from too tight bandages or tourniquets. These bandages won't stop a gash/deeper wound from bleeding, and they aren't really meant to. What they do, and do well, is help minimize the wound opening to help prevent dirt or contaminants from getting in until you can seek professional medical attention. Keeping the edges of a wound together also helps reduce the potential for the wound becoming larger (skin tearing with movement), fat globules coming out of the wound area (if the cut is deep enough) and creating a permanent depression at the wound site, and scarring (especially if there is a delay in getting treatment to close the wound). Of course you should still use absorbent padding and gauze wrap over the top of this bandage to help staunch blood flow and keep the wound covered and clean. Having this type of wound closure in your home and vehicle first aid kits truly is incredibly helpful. These aren't cheap, and they aren't meant for minor scratches and scrapes where a simple, normal bandaid would suffice. But the moment you need one, it's easy to understand why this type of first aid supply is truly worth the cost.
