Why Suture Strip Plus?
No other wound closure plaster can mimic the elastic modulus of human skin.
Elastic modulus of skin
Suture Strip Plus mimics the elastic modulus of human skin.
No tension blisters
Extension with skin movement prevents force concentration at the ends.
Maximum dynamic holding power
High adhesion combined with movement flexibility.
Macroporous polyamide
Non-woven polyamide with maximum pore size — optimal vapour and air permeability.
Water-resistant
Does not dissolve on contact with bodily fluids or showering.
No bonding agent required
Adheres without benzoin or other bonding agents — directly to clean skin.
Sterile packaging
Every envelope sterile — ready to use in OR and clinic.
Suited for plastic surgery
Recommended where the aesthetic outcome matters.
Macroporous polyamide: breathes while it closes
Suture Strip Plus is based on specifically engineered materials that meet medical requirements on several levels.
Macroporous non-woven polyamide
- Polyamide (nylon family) — proven in medical applications
- Non-woven — uniform fibre distribution
- Macroporous — larger pores than standard plasters
- Maximum air and vapour permeability — skin can breathe
- Reduces maceration risk, promotes wound healing
Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA)
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive — bonds through pressure, not moisture
- Skin-friendly — minimal irritation
- Aggressive enough for secure fixation, flexible enough for movement
- No benzoin, no adhesive prep required
- Water-resistant — sticks even under moisture
Why polyamide beats rayon/cotton
Rayon and cotton
Hygroscopic — absorb moisture and lose adhesion. Less elastic, less dimensionally stable.
Polyamide (Suture Strip Plus) ✓
Synthetic — less sensitive to moisture. More elastic, more dimensionally stable, more reliable long-term adhesion.
Suture Strip vs. Suture Strip Plus
Suture Strip® (Standard)
Economical alternative. Well stretchable, high adhesion. For small incisions and suture support.
Suture Strip® Plus (Premium) ✓
Maximum dynamic holding power. Mimics the elastic modulus of skin. For plastic surgery and aesthetic demands.
ALBIN GROUP AG recommendation: Suture Strip Plus — wherever the aesthetic outcome matters most.
Suture Strip vs. tissue adhesive vs. sutures

Suture Strip Plus provides mechanical tension support and breathability; Chemence provides an immediate microbial barrier and complete sealing. ALBIN GROUP AG delivers both.
Suture Strip + Chemence = complementary duo
With Suture Strip from Gentell and the tissue adhesives from Chemence Medical, ALBIN GROUP AG offers a complementary wound closure duo from a single source.
Chemence Exofin: immediate sealing — microbial barrier, waterproof
Suture Strip Plus: mechanical tension support — breathable, elastic
Together: instant closure (Chemence) + long-term tension support (Suture Strip)
Practice protocol: Chemence after surgery, Suture Strip after suture removal
The complete wound-healing workflow
- – Intra-operatively: Chemence Exofin HV (1 g) — immediate sealing
- – Post-operatively: Chemence Exofin Fusion for large incisions
- – After suture removal: Suture Strip Plus — mechanical support
- – Long-term scar therapy: Biodermis Epi-Derm silicone sheets
- – Compression: MARENA Recovery for liposuctions
The complete workflow — wound closure, scar therapy and compression — from a single source.
