If you or your child has a minor cut or scrape at home, you should clean the wound and stick a bandage over it.

But if you have a more severe gash, cut, or break in the skin[1], a doctor might use other options to close your wound. These might include stitches[2], staples, glue, or zippers. The type of material and technique your doctor uses will depend on many things, like what type of injury you have, your age and health, your doctor’s experience and preference, and what materials are available.

Doctors use sticky strips of tape (such as Steri-Strips) to pull together the edges of minor skin wounds. Skin tape costs less than other types of materials used to close wounds. But tape can lose its stickiness over time, especially if it gets wet. If it gets loose, the wound can break open.
