Question: What is steristrip used for!?
Answers:
normally you need more than one! steristrips are used for pulling together and aligning the two edges of a small wound, so it heals quickly and reduces scaring!. they're just white strips that look like really thin bandages stuck to you, sometimes an alternative to stitches, but sometime's they're better for the job, depending on what it is, the length of it, where etc!. i recently got a cut about 3cm long on my eyebrow and had steristips put on it- they're painfree and pretty easy to use, although my friends said it looked like i had bog roll stuck to my face lol!!!! xWww@Answer-Health@Com
