How long does steri strips stay on?

Steri Strips also known as surgical adhesive strips or wound closure strips, are typically designed to stay on for about 5 to 10 days. However, the exact duration can vary depending on several factors, including the location of the wound, the individual’s skin type, and how well the strips are applied.

  1. Face and neck wounds: Steri-Strips on wounds in these areas may be removed after 5 to 7 days.

  2. Other body areas: For wounds on other parts of the body, Steri-Strips can typically stay on for 7 to 10 days.

  3. Moisture and activity level: Exposure to moisture, excessive sweating, or high levels of physical activity can weaken the adhesive and cause the strips to peel off sooner. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace them earlier.

  4. Healing progress: You should also consider the healing progress of the wound. If the wound has healed well and the edges have come together, you can remove the Steri-Strips sooner. However, if the wound is still open or not healing as expected, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional before removing the strips.
