3) Starting from the centre of the wound, apply the first half of the closure strip across the cut and, bringing the edges of the wound together, press the other half of the strip into place, pressing firmly but taking care not to apply excessive tension.
4) Complete the closure of the wound with additional strips placed about 2 - 3 millimetres apart to allow any exudate to drain.
