These butterfly closures, also known as butterfly bandages, help hold a deep cut closed by pulling the skin together from each side. The use of butterfly closures can help avoid needing stitches for an injury. To properly use a butterfly bandage, hold the two sides of the wound together and make sure the middle of the bandage goes across the wound. Use as many as needed to hold the wound closed. Long-lasting adhesives assures that the
wound bandages stay secure.
