ABSTRACT:
A one-piece suture clip, for holding the edges of a wound together, is constructed from a continuous metal strip formed into a pair of coacting arms adjacent a central bending region. Each arm includes a sharp projection for grasping the skin adjacent the wound and a pair of reinforced tabs. The tabs are rigidly secured to a common lower member of the arms to permit opening of the arms from the clamping position for removal of the suture clip.
