Following the removal of the stitches, my orthopedic surgeon used these. When I cut my arm, I tried these and they helped to close the wound. These seem to last longer than the ones you can buy at the pharmacy.
This product was purchased to cover a small incision on my arm and a larger incision on my chest; however, it did not stay in place on my arm and caused skin irritation on my chest.

After my surgery, I needed quick service, and this was exactly what I got.
