Step 1: Cleanse wound thoroughly, using local protocols. The skin surrounding the wound should be clean and dry. Step 2: At midpoint of the incision press one half of the first strip firmly into place up to the wound edge. Using fingers or forceps bring together wound edges. Press remaining half of strip firmly into place. Step 3: In large wounds, apply additional strips at intervals, in the same manner. Complete wound closure with strips spaced slightly apart to allow for drainage. Step 4: If required in larger wounds, apply an additional strip parallel to the wound edge, at either side of the wound, for increased support of closure. Dressing Change: To minimise potential damage at the wound site, carefully pull the end of the strip to the centre of the wound. Repeat for the other side and gently lift off the wound. An adhesive remover wipe can be used to ease the dressing edges away.
