Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Steri-Strip tapes have been used in some ophthalmologic procedures, such as blepharoplasties, where they help prevent infections by acting as a barrier method, are resistant enough to reduce the risk of wound dehiscence, simplify postoperative care, and allow for proper eyelid fissure closure. Their use has been recommended in patients with facial paralysis to prevent keratitis or exposure ulcers. However, current evidence is limited, as their use has only been documented in case series and letters to the editor. Therefore, a randomized controlled clinical trial is proposed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes of Steri-Strip tape use in unilateral ectropion surgery compared to standard postoperative management.

Study Groups

Use Steri-Strip in post-surgery + standard care
Within the first hour after unilateral ectropion surgery, Steri-Strip tapes (6 mm wide × 100 mm long, pack of 10 strips) will be applied to the operated eye. Six of these strips will be placed obliquely, hammock-style, 3 mm below the inferior orbital rim to direct the tension forces upward, using the lateral canthus of the operated eye as support. An additional strip will be placed horizontally, 2 mm above the orbital rim. The Steri-Strip tapes will be removed 8 days after surgery.
Use Steri-Strip in post-surgery + standard care
Steri-strip will be maintained for 8 days postoperatively.
Standard care
Standard care for ectropion surgery refers to the usual postoperative management provided without the use of additional supportive devices such as Steri-Strip tapes. It typically includes the application of ophthalmic antibiotic ointment, cold compresses, and instructions for eyelid hygiene.
Standard care
Postoperative care recommendations.
