Step 1
Remove cross stays. Gently grasp and loosen ends of
3M

™
closure.
Step 2
Stabilize the skin with one finger. Remove Steri-Strip closure
“low and slow” towards wound, keeping it close to skin
surface and pulled back over itself. Removing Steri-Strip
closure at an angle will pull at the epidermis increasing risk
of mechanical trauma.
Step 3
As the Steri-Strip closure is removed, continue moving finger
as necessary, supporting newly exposed skin. When both
sides of the Steri-Strip closure are completely loosened, lift
strip up from center of wound.
