Global Wound Closure Strips Market: Overview
Higher preference over alternatives

The use of wound closure strips also results in better cosmetic outcomes, achieved by minimizing the scar tissue upon healing. Further, these strips are associated with a lower infection rate and are easy to apply. On top of that, they prove to be cost-effective since they eliminate the need for follow-up visits to the doctor. This high preference over alternatives will lead to the expansion of the global wound closure strips market at a CAGR of almost 4% during the forecast period.
