ABSTRACT:
A wound closure device includes an elongated strip which defines first and second end sections and a central section. The central section includes a resilient element which defines a convex, generally cylindrical shape. In use, the entire strip, including both the end sections and the central section, is adhesively affixed to the skin with the resilient element flattened. Then the resilient element is allowed to return to its initial convex shape, thereby everting the skin in order to align both the epidermis and the germinal layer of the skin across the wound.
