Description
Care teams stock the Dukal Sterile Wound Closure Strips as a standard closure strip for daily procedures, supplied sterile and sized 1/2" x 4". For item 5157, the defining trait is straightforward: adhesive backed, thin non-woven, reinforced fibers that are arranged in a bilateral pattern for high tensile strength. Item 5157 is sold as a case (50 PK/BX) so supply rooms can stock the exact quantity the department uses.

- Performance - Provides support following early suture/staple removal
- Handling - Keeps wound closed without significant tension, edema, stretch or movement
- Construction - Translucent and porous

Main Description
For departments that carry a closure strip as a line item, the priorities are consistency, the correct format, and no surprises at receiving, and item 5157 is specified on all three. The 1/2" x 4" dimensions suit the procedures item 5157 is stocked for, and the sterile presentation matches the workflow of the departments that use it. Dukal builds item 5157 around a simple idea: provides support following early suture/staple removal. Reordering item 5157 is a clerical task rather than a clinical decision, because the number always denotes the same product. Because the specification is published by the manufacturer for item 5157, what arrives matches what the department qualified.
