Strips or sutures?

[Lanky Yankee]

I use both on patients. It depends on the wound. If it's a skin tear where there is a flap that can be pulled back into place then I use steri strips. If the cut isn't too deep or long then glue is good. Normal super glue is great and non toxic, just don't get it wet for the first 24 hours. Occasionally you might want to use both to secure a larger wound. Glue first then strips. All bets are off on any joints though.
