ABSTRACT:
An incision-type wound closing suturing method including the steps of adhering a plurality of sutures to the patient's skin in spaced-apart relationship along each side of a wound and then tying together corresponding pairs of suture strands in order to close the wound to facilitate healing thereof. In one embodiment, the strands are adhered to the skin by first applying a small amount of glue at spaced intervals along each side of the wound and then placing an end of each suture strand in a respective one of the glue applications. In another embodiment, suture strands having an enlarged planar end are provided which may be utilized with the new suturing method.
