Skin-cover adhesive strips are small, flexible bands designed to secure dressings or protect minor wounds. They use a pressure-sensitive adhesive to stick directly to skin, often featuring a hypoallergenic or waterproof material for comfort and durability in both home and clinical settings.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are not antimicrobial, so their use is limited to non-infected wounds or dressing fixation without infection control claims.
