Subject: steri-strips

Are we supposed to capitalize the word steri-strips?  Or is lower case acceptable now?

It is really hard to tell though if they are using the brand name.  I usually just put "Steri-strips".

Either steri-stripped or recast sentence
Subject: Either steri-stripped or recast sentence

When you change the form of a proper name it is not capitalized. For example, bovied, kocherized, steri-stripped, etc. That being said, I would recast the sentence, if allowed, to say Steri-Strips were applied.
Steri-Strip is the brand name (see link with picture)
