Vendaval -> Bandage question (6/9/2008 2:39:21 PM)
Greetings all, I have recently seen a different type of bandage. They are small strips of adhesive that are placed directly over a wound to hold it together, post surgery. What are they called and where are good places to purchase some? Thank you, Vendaval

Steri-strips. You can get them at most drug stores.

I think you are talking about butterfly bandages. You can find them in most any drug store.

Thank you ladies! Now that I know what they are actually called it's time for buying some.

Be VERY careful with disposal of the Steri-Strips. They are not bio-degradable (according to my doctor) and if they happen to go down your tub drain, they will usually not flush away with the force of the water and a plumber will usually have to be called. This information is from a my plastic surgeon after my tummy-tuck.

Reader now that is very good information to have. Not in the habit of flushing bandaids but stuff happens. LS
