Abstract
A new improved skin-closure tape, Proxi-Strip, has been developed. It has unique performance and handling characteristics that are ideally suited for wound closure. Most importantly, its adhesive provides a strong level of shear adherence to the skin. Its backing is extensive under low forces to accommodate swelling of the underlying tissue. Its great air porosity and water transmission rates augur well for the presence of dry skin under the tape. An antistatic compound has been added to the tape that maintains its flat configuration and facilitates its application to skin. On the basis of these unique performance and handling characteristics, Proxi-Strip skin-closure tape is recommended for wound closure.
