Steri-strips - can you just get them at tescos?

Dh has fallen and cut his knee. Looks like could maybe do with a stitch or at least steri-strips (is that what they're called?!) to stick back together. Is he going to have to go to A&E or can we buy steri-strips somewhere and do it ourselves?

boots sell them

Is he up-to-date with his anti-tetanus? (or was it a clean wound?)

Don't mention it.

I got some from Tescos in the pharmacy about a month ago when Dh cut his hand.

Sorry I came across so grumpy I hope your DH is well, was it a bad cut?

He's fine, thanks!

He fell out running and it looked very deep and open, kind of gaping, hence wondered about steri-stripping it together.

No boots nearby, phoned a GP friend and she reckoned it'd be OK. She was right!
