ABSTRACT:
A surgical drape is disclosed which is combined with suture tapes which are presurgically positioned adjacent the incision such that after surgery and removal of the surgical drape the tapes are approximate the incised skin margin to readily close the incision. The device comprises a pair of spaced sheets coated with a microporous pressure-sensitive adhesive having a liner over the adhesive, at least one of the sheets carries a plurality of spaced fastening tapes opposite the adhesive coated surface for attachment to the other sheet by joining similar tapes on the second sheet. The tapes extend toward the marginal edge of the adjacent sheet and are folded back upon themselves. A surgical drape is then disposed releasably over the tapes and sheets and covers the space between the sheets defining the line for the incision.
