Stitches

I just saw these on facebook. They are expensive but they could come in handy. https://zipstitch.us

I like their marketing, "Without a prescription." It's a band-aid! A sophisticated band-aid, several steps up from a butterfly closure but still a band-aid!

$30 each?!?!

I like the concept.

I said they were expensive.... Going out where we are going to be moving to, I think they will be good to have on hand.

Better to have them and not need them then to need them and not have them...wonder what their shelf life is?

I like them and would love to have some in my first aid kit. I have known people who had super glue to hold their wounds together. I keep some of that in my first aid kit.

Terri's post got me interested. Watching youtubes and reviews, removal is straight forward. I assume the adhesive has a self life, I can't find and answer to that...yet.

3M has a similar product: 3M Steri-strip S Surgical Closure

Keeping in mind i have 1% medical knowledge, I think the ZipStich is the better.

With my GHB store in my hot summer vehicle, how long before the adhesive because non-viable?

I wonder what the shelf life is for most adhesives? Heat degrades it, like heat destroys all adhesives over time.

I like those. I've used the glue on myself twice. Well, I got one of my daughters to help with gluing my finger while I was elevating my hand. I almost cut off my fingertip entirely, and the glue did well. I just cleaned it really good, and kept it clean after the gluing. It's hard to fix your right hand when you're right handed. Stitches would be hard to do by yourself. I had my daughter superglue a veneer back on to my front tooth once. We were out in the boonies with no dentist around. It held for 3 weeks.

What is wrong with these surgical or skin staplers? I know people who have bought them and tried them out on each other.

Those are good, too.
But if it's glueable, I would prefer that over stapling.

I do too.

Me too! These are only for small wounds. A staple gun would be good for longer cuts. We have one in the barns emergency supplies ever since my husbands horse sliced her leg open.
