3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Skin Closures R1541

3M Steri-Strip Reinforced Skin Closures R1541 are sterile adhesive skin-closure strips designed to provide wound support and help approximate skin edges during the healing process.

R1541 measures 6 mm × 75 mm (1/4 inch × 3 inches). Its adhesive strip incorporates reinforced polymer filaments that provide additional strength for appropriate closure of surgical incisions and skin lacerations. 3M describes the product as breathable, sterile and designed for non-invasive skin closure.

The R1541 format is particularly useful when a narrower 6 mm × 75 mm reinforced skin-closure strip is required. It belongs to the same Steri-Strip reinforced range as R1542, R1546, R1547, R1548 and R1549, with the main distinction being its dimensions and corresponding application requirements.
