ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for closing cutaneous wounds without sutures, which comprises a pair of three-dimensionally flexible strips adopted to be positioned on each side of a wound and formed of a plurality of laterally spaced apart elongated anchoring members extending side-by-side in succession and transversely of the wound and being interconnected in a three-dimensionally flexible manner to follow the lips of an open wound. Each of the anchoring members has on the underside thereof an adhesive surface for adhesion directly of indirectly to the skin of a patient, and includes at an inner end thereof a thread receiving and retaining portion, whereby a thread can be engaged lace-wise through the anchoring members of both strips so as to draw the anchoring members of one strip towards the anchoring members of the other strip in such a way so as to close in a constant tensiometric way the open wound extending between the two strips with the lips of the wound being equidistant along the entire length thereof.
