The present invention relates to a new and improved system and method for providing sutures using self adhesive pads with anchors. Each self adhesive pad has at least one anchor or hook fixed on top of the pad to hold a suture thread in place or could contain a Micro Velcro System. By applying the pads around an open wound and connecting them with a suture thread, the wound could be closed by tightening the suture thread. The wound could be kept closed by securing the position of both ends of the suture thread. In one embodiment, the end of a suture thread may be anchored on the anchor or hook on the self adhesive pad. The system and method provides improvements over the suture techniques using stitches by securing atraumatic closure of the wound in a non-invasive way.
