Dynarex Secure Strip Wound Closures

When a cut needs to stay closed but doesn't warrant sutures, Secure Strip wound closures from Dynarex bridge the gap. These sterile, latex-free adhesive strips hold wound edges together to promote clean healing, reduce scarring, and support skin after minor lacerations, surgical incisions, or suture removal. This collection covers both non-woven reinforcing strips and plastic butterfly closures, so you can match the closure to the wound.

The non-woven Secure Strip adhesive closures lie flat and flexible against the skin, moving with the body while keeping tension across the wound. The 1/4 inch x 3 inch strips (3523) suit smaller, delicate closures and come three per pack, while the 1/2 inch x 4 inch strips (3525) offer wider coverage for longer incisions at six per pack. For puncture-style cuts and irregular edges, the Secure Strip butterfly closures use a pinched-center plastic design to draw skin together — available in a 3/8 inch x 1-13/16 inch size (3615) and a larger 1/2 inch x 2.75 inch size (3616).

A common question is when to reach for a strip versus a butterfly: flat adhesive strips distribute holding force along a straight line and are ideal for laceration edges that already sit close together, whereas butterfly closures pull edges inward and work well for smaller gaping wounds. All Secure Strip products arrive sterile and latex-free, making them appropriate for clinical use and sensitive-skin patients alike. To keep a closure effective, apply to clean, dry skin and leave it undisturbed until the wound has bonded — typically several days, depending on location and movement.

Stock these alongside your other securement supplies, including catheter fixation options in the Cath-Secure collection, to keep a well-rounded wound care and fixation kit on hand.
