steri-strip
Adhesive wound closure
A steri-strip is a thin adhesive strip used to hold wound edges together, serving as an alternative to stitches for minor cuts or as reinforcement after sutures are removed.
The strips are applied across the wound perpendicular to the incision line: The doctor closed the cut with steri-strips instead of stitches.
A genericized trademark, also written Steri-Strip or steri strip.
