Aspen Sterion Skin Closures – Filament Reinforced and Flexible Strips, Sterile, Single-Use

The Aspen Sterion Skin Closures close skin and support sutures and staples without the pain of extra needle sticks or staple removal. The sterile strips apply quickly and stay gentle on the skin, which helps patients stay more comfortable while the wound heals. Teams choose filament reinforced strips for larger closures or flexible strips that move with the skin.

• Two Closure Styles – Filament reinforced strips add strength for large closures, while flexible strips follow skin movement, so each wound gets the right support.
• Gentle Application – Less painful to apply than suturing or stapling, so patients get closure with more comfort.
• Breathable Material – The filament reinforced style lets moisture pass through, so the skin under the strip stays healthier.
• No Adhesive Enhancers – The strips hold without extra adhesive products, so application stays a one-step routine.

Sterile Skin Closure Strips for Wound Closure and Support

Sterion Skin Closures are sterile adhesive strips intended for skin closure and for closure support alongside sutures and staples. The filament reinforced style uses reinforcing filaments to add strength across large skin surface closures, a design accepted as the standard by most healthcare professionals. The flexible style uses a non-woven backing that helps reduce the skin shear that edema or flexing can put on closure ends, and its blend tone lets the natural skin tone show through the strip. Every strip is sterile, intended for single use, and not made with natural rubber latex. Twelve configurations cover strip sizes from 1/8 in x 3 in to 1 in x 5 in, with pouches packed 50 to a box for most sizes.

Features and Benefits

Filament Reinforced Closures

• Reinforcing Filaments – Offer added strength for large skin surface closures, so long incisions keep reliable support.
• Breathable Construction – Designed to allow moisture transmission, which helps reduce the chance of skin maceration under the strip.
• Curl-Resistant Strips – Strips stay flat during handling, so placement is controlled and clean.

Flexible Closures

• Non-Woven Flexible Backing – Helps reduce the chance of skin shear when edema or flexing puts pressure on the closure ends, so closures over joints stay supported.
• Blend Tone Color – Lets the natural skin tone blend with the strip, so the closure looks discreet while it heals.

Application

• Less Painful Closure – Less painful to apply than sutures or staples, so patients get a more comfortable closure experience.
• Device Securement – Securely holds catheters and other devices in place while gentle on the skin, so one strip covers two jobs.

Why Clinicians Choose Sterion Skin Closures

Closing skin with sutures or staples costs time and adds pain at the exact moment a patient wants the procedure finished. Sterion strips give clinicians a sterile closure that applies in seconds and supports the wound without either tradeoff. With two styles and six sizes, one product line covers everything from small lacerations to large incision support.

• Faster, Gentler Closure – Strips apply without suturing or stapling pain, so patients leave the closure step more comfortable.
• Strength Where It Counts – Reinforcing filaments support large skin surface closures, so clinicians trust the strip on long incisions.
• Two Styles, Six Sizes – Filament reinforced and flexible strips in sizes to 1 in x 5 in, so the right strip is on hand for each wound.
• Sterile and Latex-Free – Every strip is sterile, single-use, and not made with natural rubber latex, so the same format serves every patient.
