Gentell Suture Strip Plus Flexible Wound Closure Strips

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus is specifically engineered for flexibility, making it ideal for use on dynamic body areas and joints. They are designed to conform and yield to movement, which is a crucial selling point.

Key features related to flexibility include:

• They are constructed from a flexible, nonwoven material that adheres well even over moving areas.
• This ability to flex helps to minimize the risk of skin shear or blistering often caused by rigid wound closures.
• The strips use an aggressive, yet skin-friendly adhesive, ensuring strong adherence without requiring supplemental adhesive enhancers.

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus Flexible Wound Closure Strips are water-resistant.

This key feature provides durability in contact with moisture, helping to ensure a secure and reliable wound closure even when exposed to water.

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus is available in six different configurations (widths and lengths) and varied packaging counts to suit diverse clinical needs. This variety allows for reliable wound closure, especially over flexible skin planes and moving joints.

The available strip dimensions and packaging configurations are:

• 1/8” x 3”: 5 strips/pouch, 50 pouches/box
• 1/4” x 3”: 3 strips/pouch, 50 pouches/box
• 1/4” x 4”: 10 strips/pouch, 50 pouches/box
• 1/2” x 4”: 6 strips/pouch, 50 pouches/box
• 1/4” x 1½”: 6 strips/pouch, 50 pouches/box
• 1” x 5”: 4 strips/pouch, 25 pouches/box

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus is adhesive enhancer-free. It features an aggressive, skin-friendly adhesive that is strong enough to provide secure wound closure without the need for any additional external adhesive enhancers. This simplifies the application process.

Gentell Suture Strip Plus Flexible Wound Closure Strips are manufactured in the US.

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus is specifically designed to minimize the risk of skin shear and blistering.

This benefit is achieved through the strip’s construction, which combines two key features:

• Flexible Nonwoven Material: The material easily conforms to contours and flexes with the skin, reducing mechanical stress when the area moves.
• Aggressive, Skin-Friendly Adhesive: This specialized adhesive ensures a strong hold while minimizing trauma to the skin upon application and movement, effectively reducing the chances of blistering.

Yes, these strips are designed for effective use on dynamic areas like joints or areas subject to frequent motion. The core benefit is the flexible, nonwoven material which:

• Conforms well to the skin.
• Flexes effectively with movement.
• Minimizes the risk of skin stripping or blistering due to reduced shear forces.

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus is designed with an aggressive, skin-friendly adhesive to provide reliable and secure wound closure while minimizing the risk of irritation.

The unique combination of materials and adhesive ensures superior performance:

• Strong and Secure: The adhesive adheres aggressively, providing a firm hold without the need for additional enhancers.
• Minimizes Skin Trauma: The skin-friendly formula, combined with the flexible nonwoven material, helps reduce the risk of skin shear or blistering, especially when used over areas of movement.
• Water-Resistant: The strips maintain their integrity when exposed to moisture.

Yes, the Gentell Suture Strip Plus is available in six versatile dimensional configurations to suit various wound closure needs. The flexible, nonwoven material is designed to conform easily, reducing the risk of skin shear or blistering, especially over moving body areas.The available configurations are:

• Strip, 1/8” x 3” (5 strips per pouch, 50 pouches per box)
• Strip, ¼” x 3” (3 strips per pouch, 50 pouches per box)
• Strip, ¼” x 4” (10 strips per pouch, 50 pouches per box)
• Strip, ½” x 4” (6 strips per pouch, 50 pouches per box)
• Strip, ¼” x 1½” (6 strips per pouch, 50 pouches per box)
• Strip, 1” x 5” (4 strips per pouch, 25 pouches per box)

The Gentell Suture Strip Plus is specifically engineered to minimize skin shear and blistering, especially when applied over joints or areas of frequent movement. This feature is crucial for maintaining wound integrity without causing secondary injury.

This superior performance is due to the strip’s specialized construction:

• Flexible Nonwoven Material: The material conforms dynamically to body movement, significantly reducing the tension and strain that cause skin stripping or shear.
• Aggressive, Skin-Friendly Adhesive: The strong adhesive ensures secure wound approximation while remaining gentle enough to minimize irritation, and it does not require supplemental adhesive enhancers.
• Water-Resistant Design: The strips maintain their integrity and secure adhesion even when exposed to moisture.
