Fight to prevent infections at the sitewith 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures

1 | 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures

Despite modern

advancements in

infection prevention, health

care-acquired infections (HAIs)

remain one of the top 10 leading

causes of death in the United States and

are responsible for nearly 100,000 deaths

each year.1 Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the

second most-common HAI, accounting for 20% of all

HAIs among hospitalized patients.2 Post-operative SSIs

are the most common healthcare-associated infection in

surgical patients3, occurring in up to 5 percent of

surgical patients.4

SSIs are a major public health concern for

health care providers and patients alike.

Studies find that surgical patients who develop

an SSI are more than twice as likely to die

as those who don’t.5

Fight to prevent infections at the sitewith 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures

3M™ Steri-Strip™ products are supported by a variety of clinical data and publications. 3M has created this document to help summarize thepublications in a brief and easy-to-use format. If you have questions or need additional information, please refer to the citation referenced.

If an SSI occurs, a patient is 60 percent as likely

to spend time in the ICU after surgery than is an

uninfected surgical patient.5

Patients who develop a surgical site infection after

hospital discharge are also five times more likely

to be readmitted to the hospital.5

To equip your hospital with tools to implement

infection prevention strategies, improve patient

outcomes and reduce costs, 3M offers a full line

of 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures that have

been clinically proven in numerous studies to help stop

surgical site infections at the most ideal time:

3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures Clinical Summaries

“Although the sutured wound remained penetrable by bacteria for at least 1 week, the wounds with [3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures] were effectively sealed after 4 days.”

Reduced Infection

3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures provided a lower risk of infection against Staphylococcus aureus when compared to sutures.

Penetration of Staphylococcus Aureus into Sutured WoundsHirshman H.P., Schurman D.J., Kajiyama G., Journal of Orthopedic Research, 1984, 2(3): 269-271.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to develop an animal model to study whether Staphylococcus aureus could penetrate a sutured wound.

Key Points

• Bacteria can penetrate sutured wounds and remain viable for several days.

• When 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Skin Closures were used to close the wounds, bacteria could not be recovered from any of the 24 wounds when bacteria were applied 4 or 7 days after wound closure.



These studies indicate that wounds closed with 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures have a greater resistance to infection than sutured wounds.

Technique of Closure: Contaminated WoundsEdlich R.F., Rodeheaver G., Kuphal J., Holl J.D., Smith S.L., Bacchetta C., Edgerton M.T., Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1974, NOV/DEC:375-381.

Purpose

The purpose of the study was to define the influence of the closure technique to resist infection in experimentally contaminated wounds.

Key Points

• The study findings suggest subdermal and subcutaneous sutures potentiate the development of infection.

• The studies indicate that wounds closed with 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures have a greater resistance to infection than sutured wounds.

“... [3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures] permits passage of air and water vapor and limits the growth of skin bacteria.”

Reduced Infection



“Advantages were a lower rate of infection and overall lower morbidity, lower cost… and reduced trauma to tissue.”

Reduced Infection

Wound closure time

Reduced Trauma to Tissue

3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures provide a lower rate of infection and over-all morbidity when compared to sutures.

Five Year experience with tape closure of abdominal woundsPepicello J., Yavorek H., Surgery Gynecology and Obstetrics, 1989, 169(4); 310-314.

Purpose

The purpose of this retrospective study was the analysis of 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Skin closures as the sole method of skin closure from over 350 intra-abdominal operations.

Key Points

• 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Skin Closures provided a lower rate of infection and over-all morbidity when compared to sutures and/or staplers.

• 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Skin Closures provided a lower cost and a reduction in operating room time when compared to sutures and/or staplers.

• Strangulation and necrosis of tissue are eliminated because of gentle handling of tissue.

• 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Skin Closures provided better cosmetic results.



Early staple removal and replacement with 3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures produced more acceptable cosmetic results and improved wound healing.

Cutaneous Wound Closure: Early Staple Removal and Replacement by Skin TapesTraub A.C., Quattlebaum F.W., Contemporary Surgery, June, 1981, 18.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to study the effect of early staple removal (three days) with replacement by 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures.

Key Points

• Incisions closed with 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures failed to show any evidence of erythema or purulent material unlike the stapled portion of the incision.

• Incisions with early removal of staples and replacement with 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures produced more acceptable cosmetic results.

“At 6 months no staple sites were visible where the staples had been removed early and supported by [3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures].”

Improved cosmetic outcomes

Reduced Trauma to Tissue



3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures provided a more suitable cosmetic outcome and a less expensive technique when compared to a tissue adhesive.

Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing a Tissue Adhesive (Dermabond™) with Adhesive Strips (Steri-Strips™) for the Closure of Laparoscopic Trocar Wounds in Children.Romero P., Frongia G., Wingerter S., Holland-Cunz S., European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2011, 21(3):159-162.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of tissue adhesives (Dermabond™) compared to adhesive strips (Steri-Strip™) on potential complications of wound healing, wound pain, cosmetic outcome and patient satisfaction after laparoscopic appendectomy in children.

Key Points

• The evaluation showed a significant difference between the two groups with regard to the cosmetic outcome favoring 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures.

• 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures were the less expensive technique.


Health economics

“As regards cosmetic outcomes, Steri-Strip™ wound closure seems to be the most suitable and is also the less expensive technique.”



3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures were both a cost-saving and a cost-effective alternative to sutures and tissue adhesives in the closure of low-tension lacerations.

Economic comparison of methods of wound closure: wound closure strips vs. sutures and wound adhesivesZempsky WT, Zehrer CL, Lyle CT, Hedbloom EC.. Int Wound J 2005;2:272–281.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to review and assess the treatment of low-tension wounds and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of wound closure methods.

Key Points

• For lacerations without complications, 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures had the lowest average cost per laceration.

• For lacerations with infection, 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures had the lowest average cost per laceration.

• For lacerations with dehiscence, 3M Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures had the lowest average cost per laceration.

“We conclude [3M™ Steri-Strip™ Adhesive Skin Closures] were both a cost-saving and a cost-effective alternative to sutures and tissue adhesives in the closure of low-tension lacerations.”
