What are your thoughts on closing with steri strips and then layering glue over top? I’ve seen this advocated but recently someone I was speaking with wondered if the strips got wet, would it track under the glue and leave the wound macerated?
I think it’s fine. I use this technique now and then to reinforce a wound and haven’t found it to be a problem, although admittedly I don’t have a wealth of follow up on this particular situation. Anyone with complications they are willing to share?
Thank you for this excellent content.
I have already faced some bandages wound care treatments. I really appreciate the Wound Care Australia group. Thanks for sharing this this.
thanks you a lot
this page is valuable and worthy to me
Great material! I am unable to play the vieos. Can you help me? Thank you.
Hi Scott, I would recommend updating your browser, including making sure you are running the most up-to-date version of Adobe flash player. This is the most common reason for difficulty with the videos. Hope this is helpful and hope you enjoy.
Ever heard of the Swiss Trauma suture?
I have not. Educate me. Happy to explore further with a post on the site if you can provide me a link to an article describing the technique. Regards, BWL
This is honestly fantastic.
I have greatly enjoyed watching your teaching style and gained so much practical help here. Thank you so much for the time you have put into sharing by video!
Brian, what are your thoughts on performing a running horizontal mattress suture, and derma-bonding the center to re-enforce closure? Any experience with this?
I can’t say I have done it personally, but it definitely sounds like a reasonable approach!
Hey Dr. Lin,
I am one of the PAs who had the pleasure of hearing you lecture about laceration repair at SEMPA a few weeks ago. Just wanted to follow up, and let you know that I used the hair apposition technique on a scalp laceration today, and it worked out wonderfully! Thanks again for a great talk at the conference!
thanks! I enjoyed meeting many of your colleagues at SEMPA and am glad the info was valuable.
Fantastic site! As a teacher, I strogly recoment all this content to medical students.
