ABSTRACT:
A wound closure device includes first and second attachment members, each of which defines a concave skin contacting surface shaped to bond adhesively to the skin on a respective side of a wound. A bridge is provided to hold the two attachment members in abutting alignment to close the wound. The attachment members are sufficiently resilient to evert the skin on both sides of the wound to bring the skin into healing alignment across the wound. In this way, both the epidermis and the germinal layer or dermis of the skin can be aligned properly to minimize scar tissue formation.
