ABSTRACT:
A skin approximator has two hinged together sections provided with free ends movable towards and away from each other. The free ends carry arms which are so hinged to them that they pivot during movement of the sections towards each other and when barbs provided on these arms are inserted into the skin at opposite sides of a wound. This pivoting movement causes skin edge portions extending along the wound to become everted before they move into abutment with one another.
