Comparison of Steri Strip VS Suture Closure of Facial Lacerations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: To compare mean per operative pain and mean operative time of steri strip vs suture closure of facial lacerations. Methods: A total of 190 children of either sex between 05-12 years of age with laceration less than 12 hours old and Laceration less than 3cm in length were included in the study from Trauma Centre Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi during 2014 while the children with lacerations on areas of High tension or mobility (nose, mouth), grossly contaminated lacerations and laceration requiring deep sutures were excluded from the study. Results: In our study, mean+sd was calculated as 8.88±2.22 and 8.51±2.18 in Group-A and B respectively, 59(62.11%) in Group-A and 53(55.79%) in Group-B were male while 35(37.89%) in Group-A and 42(44.21%) were females, comparison of mean per operative pain was done, pain was recorded 7.54±3.32 in Group-A and 28.93±3.56 in Group-B, p value was calculated as 0.0001 which shows significant difference between the two groups. Comparison of mean operative time was done, it shows 9.86±1.28 in Group-A and 19.43±1.51 in Group-B, p value was calculated as 0.000 which shows significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: We concluded that there is a significant difference between steri strip and suture closure in terms of mean per operative pain and operative time score.

Is the use of Steri-StripTM S for wound closure after coronary artery bypass grafting better than intracuticular suture?
Several methods have been used in wound closure after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this study, the safety and efficacy of one of these methods, Steri-Strip S is compared with the traditional intracuticular suture method. Eighty-one patients undergoing CABG were prospectively randomized into two groups according to the method of skin closure: Steri-Strip S group and traditional sut...
متن کاملRandomised clinical trial of suture compared with adhesive strip for skin closure after HRT implant.
To determine which method of skin closure was associated with less bleeding, 250 women were randomly allocated to have either a suture closure (3-0 Dexon II) or an adhesive strip closure (Steri-Strip) following subcutaneous insertion of hormone (HRT) implants. Data were collected via a tested questionnaire and analysed. Significantly, more women in the adhesive strip group recorded postprocedur...

BACKGROUND Early postoperative edema and ecchymosis are the most common factors to complicate initial patient perceptions about rhinoplasty. The current study was conducted to determine the effects of longer steri-strip tape on patient cheek in terms of ecchymosis control and reduction. METHODS Through a randomized controlled clinical trial, 70 patients who underwent rhinoplasty were r...
متن کاملMesentery-like steri-strip: a scarless drain fixation.
Dear Editors, Recently in your journal an interesting trick in steri-strips application was suggested by D’Ettorre et al. (1), we would like to draw the readers’ attention to a further potential use of this common dressing. In fact, suction drains are usually secured by looping suture material around the drain in the form of a ‘Roman garter’. However, the knot is prone to loosening, which allow...
متن کاملAn in-vivo study of the wound-bursting strengths of octyl-cyanoacrylate, butyl-cyanoacrylate, and surgical tape in rats.
BACKGROUND Several non-invasive wound-closure devices are available. Clinical studies of low-tension lacerations suggest similar clinical outcomes with these devices. OBJECTIVE We compared the wound-bursting strengths (WBS) of octyl-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond), butyl-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl Blue), and adhesive tape (Steri-Strips). METHODS Design-randomized, controlled, blinded experiment. S...
