Extreme Laceration Repair Kit by DermaClip - Heavy Duty 8-Piece Wound Closure Device Set - Zip Stitchless Alternative for Sports, Hiking & Survival Prep

Excellent

As someone who enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling, I am always looking for additions to my first aid kit to be best prepared for anything that might occur far from a proper treatment facility. These are what I think better prepares one for more serious incidents, and I now have a package of these in my travel bag and in both vehicle first aid kits. Looking at the printed instructions and online information regarding proper use and application, I fell comfortable in their use and do not need to waste one for 'practice' on some inanimate object. My only concern and reduction of one star was due to the statement that this version uses a very high grip adhesive that could tear or damage delicate skin. As I do have somewhat delicate skin due to age this is a bit of a concern but I'll concern myself with that if I ever actually have to use these on myself.

We have young kids and not only have these been so helpful for the larger scrapes, I also cut myself while at my workbench and was so impressed by how easy and effective these were.

I got these to add to our first aide kit for fishing and kayaking. My fishing partner cut himself badly last year, and these would have been so useful to have in our kit. I have used other bandages from this company, and know that they have great adhesive that really holds. They are expensive, but worth it in an emergency when you can't get to a doctor for stitches quickly. You hope to never have to use them, but if you do, you will be happy to have them in your kit.

This Upgraded Butterfly Closure Kit is perfect for your fist aid set. I have a tendency toward clean cuts that need to stay closed for a week or so to heal properly without stitches and this set is perfect for me. The only problem is the price is rather high. You only get two closures and there is no room for error. Over $25 for two is too much.

DermaQuik strips have been a great addition to my gear box for hunting, fishing and any other adventures. Intuitive and very easy to use I’d highly recommend!

Very unforgiving. If applied perfectly, it works well but any misstep will result in pricey “practice” rounds.

A few years ago, my husband fell on some cement in our backyard and got a big gash on the back of his head. It bled a lot, as head wounds do. I called our neighbor, who is a doctor (a pediatrician but who better to treat cuts and gashes) and she cleaned it saying it could probably be closed with the right kind of bandage. She suggested that we have it checked. So…we spent the next several hours in the ER, had a few stitches applied, and had to return later to have them removed. I think this product will work well in these types of situations and would have saved us those wasted hours if we had them on hand. I took off a star because I do believe the product is overpriced for only two closures, but mainly because all the information I read said it was fine for the elderly. My husband is in his eighties and has many health issues. When I received the package, it says not to apply to fragile skin. Well, that’s what he has, so I would hesitate to use it. I will keep the package and take it with us when we plan to be in an area without easy medical care. I don’t want to compromise my husband’s thin skin—or mine, for that matter.
