ABSTRACT:
In a protective wound-closing device, a plurality of adhesive backed planar pads arranged in a common plane are normally supported by a manually operated control. The control spreads the position of the respective pads in lateral directions with respect to each other for contact with a patient's skin around a wound; release of the control member from the pads permits a resilient shield member joining the pads to each other to darw opposing edges of a wound toward each other while the central overlying portion of the transparent resilient material shields the wound from contact with foreign matter while permitting air circulation and medication between the elastic shield and the surface of the wound as well as permitting observation of the wound without the necessity of removing the protective device.
