Dukal 5152 - Wound Closure Strip, 1/4" x 1-1/2", 6/PK, 50 PK/BX, 4 BX/CS (Cross reference to 3M Steri-Strip)

The Dukal 5152 Wound Closure Strip is a sterile adhesive strip designed for the closure of small cuts, lacerations, and surgical incisions without the need for sutures or staples. Each strip measures 1/4 x 1-1/2 inches and is constructed with a strong, hypoallergenic adhesive that maintains reliable wound approximation during healing. Supplied in convenient sterile packs of six strips, this product offers 50 packs per box and four boxes per case, making it ideal for high-volume clinical use.

Key Benefits

These wound closure strips provide an effective, non-invasive alternative to sutures, reducing patient discomfort and scarring. The porous, breathable backing promotes air circulation to the wound site, helping maintain a healthy healing environment. The sterile single-use design minimizes infection risk, while the gentle adhesive ensures secure closure without skin trauma upon removal. Clinicians benefit from easy, quick application and consistent performance.

Compatibility and Applications

The Dukal 5152 Wound Closure Strip is suitable for use in hospitals, surgical centers, urgent care facilities, and outpatient clinics. It is compatible with a variety of wound care protocols and can be used alone for minor wounds or in combination with sutures for additional support on larger incisions. Common applications include post-surgical closures, skin tears, and minor laceration repair.

Usage Guidelines

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions before application. Remove the strips from their sterile pouch and apply them across the wound edges to approximate the skin. Press gently to ensure adhesion. Do not stretch the strip during application. Replace the strip if it becomes loose or contaminated. Follow facility wound care protocols for replacement intervals and removal procedures.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

The product is manufactured under strict quality control standards to meet medical device regulations for sterile, single-use wound closure materials. It is latex-free and designed to comply with FDA and CE medical device guidelines, ensuring safety and reliability for clinical use. Each package is sterilized and clearly labeled for traceability and compliance with healthcare regulations.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Comparable to the 3M Steri Strip, the Dukal 5152 provides equivalent strength and performance at a more economical price point. It offers excellent adhesion, flexibility, and breathability, ensuring reliable wound closure even under mild tension. While 3M Steri Strip is widely recognized in hospitals, the Dukal alternative delivers similar clinical results with cost efficiency and consistent quality.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

Primary users include emergency department staff, surgeons, nurses, and general practitioners. The product is ideal for clinics and hospitals managing postoperative wounds or performing minor skin repair. It is also suitable for outpatient and home healthcare providers seeking a sterile, easy-to-use closure method that reduces the need for suture removal visits.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always check packaging integrity before use to ensure sterility. Apply with care to avoid excess tension that may irritate the wound edges. Replace strips as needed according to wound condition and clinical judgment. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For single use only. Do not use if the sterile pouch is damaged or opened. Ensure the application is performed by a qualified healthcare professional in accordance with institutional policies. The product is intended for external use only and should not be applied to infected or heavily exuding wounds.
