ABSTRACT:
Improvements in skin closures that unite and hold separable closure members and skin portions attached thereto accurately together to prevent separation thereof by forces which might otherwise cause the united members to separate, the improvement including sheet members adhesively attached on opposite sides of a skin separation or incision and one or more folded back sheet portions or separate sheet elements for use in adhesively connecting the sheet members about the skin separation or incision thereby closing the skin separation or incision. In addition, the improvement includes protective coverings over the adhesive layers for use in protecting the adhesive until such time as it is necessary to utilize the skin closure. The improvement also can include elements to aid in accurately guiding a scapel as it makes an incision through the skin closure to aid in preventing damage to the skin closure that would impair its ability to function as such.
