What are the advantages of Leukostrip adhesive strips?
Leukostrip adhesive strips offer numerous advantages that help with safe and comfortable wound care. Below you will find the most important advantages of these high-quality adhesive strips:
- Breathable and moisture permeable : The adhesive strips are breathable and permeable to moisture vapour, which helps to keep the skin dry and support the healing process. The wound can heal optimally in this way, while the risk of skin irritation is reduced.
- Reduces scarring : One of the unique benefits of Leukostrip dovetails is their help in reducing scarring. By supporting the wound edges, the adhesive strips promote neat wound closure, which can make scars smaller and less noticeable.
- Protection against tensile forces : The Leukostrip adhesive strips help to protect the wound against tensile forces and pressure, which is essential for a peaceful healing. This prevents the wound from reopening and provides extra security during recovery.
- Hypoallergenic and skin-friendly : The strips are hypoallergenic, which means that they are less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation. This makes them suitable for people with sensitive skin and prevents the skin from becoming irritated, even with prolonged use.
- Comfortable and elastic : Leukostrip adhesive strips are comfortable for the patient, even during movement. They retain their elasticity throughout the wearing time, allowing you to move freely without discomfort.
- Painless Removal : The swallowtails are designed for painless removal, reducing the chance of discomfort when removing the strips. This is especially important for sensitive wounds or patients who need to change their dressings frequently.
- Firm adhesion up to 3 days : The adhesive strips remain firmly in place, even up to 3 days. This means less frequent dressing changes, which is beneficial for both the patient and the wound itself. In addition, this gives you more flexibility and peace of mind during the recovery process.
