Butterfly stitches, called Steristrips, are narrow adhesive strips that help to close the edges of a small wound and encourage the skin to heal. • This a small cut on a infant child. • Method to apply steri strips: • If the wound is shallow, (less than 5cm long), butterfly strips can be used. Make sure the skin around the wound is also clean and dry. Leave about 3mm between each strip. • Carefully line up the edges of the wound. • Push them together, and, starting at the middle of the wound, apply the strips to keep the edges closed. • Place half of the strip on one side of the wound, bring the edges together by gently bringing the other side towards it, and then pass the strip over. • Place strips alternately above and below the first strip – this helps to match up the edges and keeps the skin tension equal. • To anchor the rows of strips in place, put two strips across the rows (one on each side of the wound). • ------------------------------------------------ • Love2Learn • LIFE HACKS - PRODUCT UNBOXING - TRAVEL DISCOVERIES - EASY DIY-IDEAS • Information Packed video channel full of practical and adaptable knowledge. • Like us on FACEBOOK: / love2learn-433084150869151 • Become part of our YouTube tribe by subscribing to our channel, sharing our videos and dropping us your comments. • #love2learn
