ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device for skin lesions is provided in which adhesively coated flexible strips are stuck to skin on opposed sides of the lesion, aligned to prevent lateral displacement of the skin and drawn together by flaps to close the skin over the lesion. This device allows the lesion to heal without the formation of keloids. The flaps may be pulled around the side bars of a buckle member to draw the flexible strips to close skin over the lesion, and then the flaps stuck to the flexible strips to hold the skin closing the lesion. For surgical incisions a transparent, removable cover may be on the folded back flaps, and the surgical incision made through the transparent, removable cover, markings on the strips may be used to align them, and the lesion may be closed by sticking the flaps together in face-to-face relation.
