I wonder whether this should be moved to butterfly stitches and reworked as a generic topic rather than a brand name. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 18:33, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
I always thought that a butterfly closure was more like this, different from Steri-Strip, even if used for similar purposes. The butterfly closures I've seen are shaped like butterflies (some more obviously so than these), and have an non-adhesive bit in the center, like a bandaid(they are mentioned in that article). Am I out-of-date? HLHJ ( talk) 17:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Agree...Steri-Strips are *not* butterfly stitches at all. There is no non-adhesive area, nor are they hourglass-shaped, which gave butterfly stitches their name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.4.62.3 ( talk) 16:36, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
I am going to rename this article to "Wound closure strip", as it seems to be discussing the form of surgical tape used to hold wounds together. Butterfly closures are a type of adhesive bandage with a similar function but different design. I think they are sufficiently covered in Adhesive bandage § Variants.
This will also involve some redirect/link cleanup. Augurar ( talk) 08:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
