Wound Closure for ED, OR and Procedural Care

The wound closure subcategory covers the full range of products used to approximate wound edges for primary healing - from minor laceration closure in emergency departments and urgent care through major surgical wound closure in the OR. The catalog stocks four distinct product classes: skin closure strips (the highest-volume closure product, used widely across ED, post-operative care and outpatient procedural settings), sutures (covering V-Loc barbed sutures specifically), wound closure trays and kits (pre-packaged sterile sets for ED and procedural use), and butterfly closures (a specialty closure format for small lacerations). Each subsubcategory below expands into product-level depth with brand comparison and format details.

Wound Closure Subsubcategories

• Skin Closure Strips - 3M Steri-Strip standard and reinforced skin closure strips in 1/8 x 3, 1/4 x 1.5 and 1/4 x 3 inch sizes. The highest-volume wound closure SKU group, used across ED, post-op care and outpatient procedural settings.
• Sutures (V-Loc) - Medtronic V-Loc barbed sutures in absorbable and non-absorbable variants. Eliminate the need for knot tying through unidirectional barbs along the suture length.
• Wound Closure Trays & Kits - Pre-packaged sterile wound closure trays and kits from Aspen Surgical, Dukal, McKesson and Medline for ED and procedural settings.
• Butterfly Closures - Butterfly closure strips for small lacerations and minor wound approximation.

Wound Closure Product Classes at a Glance

Steri-Strip and Reinforced Skin Closure Strips

3M Steri-Strip skin closure strips are the standard skin closure product across US emergency departments, urgent care, surgical specialty practices and post-operative care. The product approximates wound edges using sterile adhesive strips applied across the wound - either as the primary closure for minor lacerations or as adjunct reinforcement after suturing for surgical wounds. The reinforced variant (Steri-Strip Reinforced) adds filaments for higher tensile strength in wounds under tension. Both formats are stocked in 1/8 x 3 inch (narrow, for small wounds) and 1/4 x 1.5 inch (wider, for moderate wounds and post-suture reinforcement) and 1/4 x 3 inch (extended length for longer wounds and surgical incision reinforcement).

V-Loc Barbed Sutures

Medtronic V-Loc barbed sutures are an alternative to traditional knotted suture closure. The suture is manufactured with unidirectional barbs along its length, allowing tissue approximation without knot tying - the barbs hold the suture in place against tissue. The clinical applications are subcuticular closure, fascial closure and other applications where knot-tying is operationally inefficient or where knot bulk is undesirable. Available in both absorbable and non-absorbable variants for different clinical applications.

Wound Closure Trays and Kits

• Aspen Surgical wound closure trays - Sterile pre-packaged trays containing the instruments and materials needed for wound closure in a single package. Used in ED and urgent care for efficient laceration repair workflow.
• Dukal wound closure trays - Alternative wound closure tray line with similar pre-packaged sterile configuration.
• McKesson wound closure kits - Wound closure kit configurations for ED and procedural use.
• Medline wound closure trays - Additional pre-packaged sterile wound closure tray options.
• Suture removal kits - Sterile suture removal kits with instruments for post-operative suture removal in clinic and home health settings.

The wound closure subcategory serves multiple clinical settings with different product preferences - ED and urgent care prioritize skin closure strips, wound closure trays and butterfly closures for laceration management; OR and surgical specialty practices prioritize sutures and post-operative reinforcement strips; outpatient and home health settings use suture removal kits and adjunct closure strips.
