Conventional clinical skin closure.

Types of Skin Closure Strips Characterized Ref.
Skin glue Helps to hold the wound together and allows it to heal. Most of the time, strips are used on the face, arms, legs, and torso. However, the surface areas are clean and dry. [53]
Sutures In deep wounds, stitches are applied under the skin to enhance injury closure. The body can absorb these stitches or a physician can remove the stitches from the skin surface. [54]
Skin grafts Are used when the skin around the wound is too damaged to heal together. This may happen with pressure sores or after the skin is removed in surgery. Skin grafts take healthy skin from another area of the body. This healthy skin is then placed over the wound. [55]
