AUSLKA Butterfly Bandaids Wound Closure Strip

TLDR: of several similar styles of these bandages I had purchased from Amazon these were the best quality and had best results. I have a two inch laceration on the inside of my forearm right below my elbow. A location that has a lot of movement and could prove difficult to heal well without a doctor visit and stitches; that I was trying to avoid. For the past two weeks I have been treating at home with various kinds of zip closure bandages from a couple different sellers on Amazon. Auslka zip closures are by far the best quality and have returned the most value in terms of significantly helping with healing and minimizing the scar left. Due to the length of the wound I started out using the three closure style from another company-'Brand X'- but had poor results with it not adhering to my skin for very long and also were irritating my sensitive skin with the adhesive and/or being difficult to remove causing some concern for the minimal healing it had just achieved. Also the other brands of three closures would not last long if I got the least bit sweaty in the sweltering summer heat. Auskla brand two zip closures worked 100x better than the previously mentioned three zip closures of other brands. Auskla has a good quality adhesive that sticks well to my dry sensitive skin. I have atopic dermatitis so the necessity of lotion to Moisturize interferes with most bandages ability to work on my skin. I did apply this on clean dry skin and had been with the previous bandages. These did not irritate my skin at any point including and all the way through removing them. They stayed adhered to my arm for a solid two days nd he removed did not require force to pull it away from the wound keeping any healing achieved intact and closed. They do come with a secondary square bandage with white breathable fabric and a sticky border bandage to cover the whole thing up with and I did not like those. They were too tacky for my skin and somewhat difficult and slightly painful to pull off. I prefer to use the 3M Tegaderm clear wound cover instead of the cloth breathable bordered.

This kit is an affordable option for emergency first aid care for situations where a laceration is serious enough to need closure but one can't get to other emergency care right away. The kit is inclusive enough to accommodate a fairly large wound and yet obviously affordable. Got to have it for a well stocked emergency first aid kit.

Very good to have around for accidents but make sure you read the instructions prior to use.

Its unreal how well these work. I thought they were a little pricey, but after seeing what they are able to do? Compared to a hospital bill, its like spending pennies! Honestly? I probably should have gone to the er after dropping a small chainsaw on my arm while it was running. It wasnt as bad as you might imagine, but it did look like a chainsaw opened up my arm. I cant believe how small the scar is because of these things!

Works for dogs too! My dog had a cut on her paw from glass that had been shaved down by the vet with staples. The staples kept coming out, so I decided to try these instead of spending hundreds of dollars again. After a couple days on my dogs paw, the wound has sealed shut! I used cohesive wrap to keep her from licking it, but it worked great! Definitely keeping in the first aid kit!

Really works and easy to use

It was used on a dog didn't stick very well

PERFECT!!!!!
