Leukostrip Wound Closure Strips (1)

Leukostrip skin closure strips hold the edges of a wound together to replace sutures or staples on minor wounds. Made by Smith & Nephew, they suit clinicians and trained first aiders closing minor lacerations or surgical incisions. The strips are supplied in pouches, ready to apply.

Smith & Nephew describes Leukostrip as 100% polyamide material coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive, made to keep wound edges together securely. That composition is the manufacturer's stated specification, and the strips are a closure aid rather than a replacement for clinical judgement on whether a wound needs sutures.

• Three sizes: 6.4 x 76mm, 6.4 x 102mm, and 13 x 102mm

How they are used

Smith & Nephew indicates Leukostrip for cuts and surgical incisions, used to replace sutures or staples. Whether closure strips are appropriate for a given wound is a clinical decision for the treating practitioner.
