ABSTRACT:
A method for performing a surgical closure of a skin incision or wound in which at least one surgical suture thread is used for holding together two opposite skin edge portions. A locking device is used for carrying out the method. The suture thread is sewn through each one of the two skin edge portions and through each one of two separate elastic members arranged at the outside of a respective one of the skin edge portions. The elastic members are made of such a material that frictional forces between the elastic members and the suture thread prevent any unintentional displacement between the suture thread and the skin edge portions after the surgical closure has been completed.
