ABSTRACT:
A sutureless closure device which is operable to draw the edges of a wound or incision together. The device comprises two pieces of surgical tape each having an adhesive face. These pieces are secured to the skin on opposite sides of the incision. An anchor for one end of a tie strip is carried by the exposed face of one tape. A slide is secured to the exposed face of the other tape. A tie strip having ratchet teeth on its upper or exposed face has one end secured to the anchor with its other end being taken up in the slide. The slide includes a locking tab which secures the tie strip by cooperating with the ratchet teeth thereon after the tie strip has been drawn to a desired degree of tautness.
