Comments about Band-Aid Butterfly Closures, Medium, 10 ea:
My husband got a BIG gash on the top of his head. I wanted him to go to emergency, but he wouldn't. I cleaned it up and used these Butterfly Band-Aids. It healed perfectly and you would never know he had that injury. I used the last of what I had and was sick to find out you couldn't get them anymore. I checked with drugstore.com and was elated to see they carry these. I ordered several boxes. They are the BEST.

Comments about Band-Aid Butterfly Closures, Medium, 10 ea:
Unexpected skin cuts are part of life. The more quickly you can close minor lacerations the more quickly they will heal and scarring will be minimal. Open wound tissue begins to heal immediately when exposed to air. The longer a wound stays open: (1) The more it is prone to infection (2) The longer it takes to heal (3) The larger the resultant scar tissue.
Wash out an incision with an antibiotic scrub such as Betadine and close it promptly with these butterfly closures. Obviously you should seek medical attention if the wound is severe.
Apply wing sections on either side of wound with nonstick center directly over the wound.
Change dressing as directed by your health care professional, or every three days. If healing does not occur in one week or wound shows unexpected changes consult your health care provider.
