A small cut can be unsightly and, if cared for incorrectly, can lead to permanent scarring. Gaping wound edges not only delay healing but also increase the risk of less aesthetic skin recovery. Heltiq Wound Closure Strips offer a reliable way to keep wound edges precisely together, supporting your skin's natural recovery process and minimising scarring.
- Supports better healing by precisely fixing wound edges together.
- Reduces the visibility of scars after small cuts.
- Easy to apply yourself without the need for medical stitches for small wounds.
- Provides firm adhesion provided the instructions for dry skin are followed.
How it works
These wound closure strips act as external support for the skin. By distributing tension on the wound edges and physically bringing them together, the skin is given the chance to close faster and more evenly. This is an essential step in first aid for small cuts where traditional plasters do not provide enough support to prevent the skin from gaping.

Use & Dosage
1. Before applying the wound closure strips, ensure the wound is completely dry and that the wound edges are free from blood and dirt. 2. If the wound is still bleeding, apply pressure for 10 minutes until it stops bleeding. If the wound is bleeding, the wound closure strips will not adhere properly and the wound edges will gape. 3. Open the packaging of the wound closure strips and pick up the strip with tweezers or your fingers. 4. Stick half of the wound closure strip to one side of the wound. Press the strip down firmly. Then, bring the wound edges together with your fingers and stick the other half over the wound. 5. Continue to hold the wound edges together until several wound closure strips have been applied. 6. Then apply several more wound closure strips in the same way across the wound, with a gap between the strips equal to the width of one strip.
