ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a surgical dressing for use in closing incisions while healing, comprising at least two strips (2, 16) of adhesive plaster each adapted to lie alongside but slightly spaced from lengthwise extending edges of the wound, each plaster strip having secured therein at spaced intervals along its length end portions of a plurality of threads (4, 20) or filaments, each thread or filament of one adhesive strip being adapted in use to co-operate under tension with at least one thread or filament of an adhesive strip on the opposite side of the wound to draw the edges of the wound together, the length of the thread (.varies., 20) or filament extending from each strip (2, 16) being greater than the width of the strip itself.
The threads may either have free ends which may be tied or may be secured in a second plaster strip 22 which adheres to the skin at a region farther away from the wound.
