<p>An adhesive suture strip for closing a wound on a patient comprises an elongated, flexible radiation-transmitting backing member having opposite ends, first and second surfaces facing away from one another and a length and width sufficient to secure facing edges of the wound in close juxtaposition to one another, the backing member comprising a first portion disposed between the ends and adapted to overlie the facing edges of the wound, and second and third portions disposed on either side of the first portion; a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a radiation-curable adhesive coated on at least part of the first surface of the backing member including the second and third portions thereof, the pressure-sensitive adhesive serving to adhere at least the second and third portions of the backing member to the patient with the facing edges of the wound in close juxtaposition, and the radiation-curable adhesive serving to strengthen the adhesion of the second and third portions of the backing member to the patient. The suture strip according to the invention further includes a protective member removably attached to the backing member and covering the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the radiation-curable adhesive. After removal of the protective member to expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive and radiation-curable adhesive, application of the backing member with the exposed pressure-sensitive adhesive onto the patient to secure the facing edges of the wound in close juxtaposition and irradiation of the backing member with curing radiation, the exposed radiation-curable adhesive upon curing together with the backing member maintain the facing edges of the wound in close juxtaposition.</p> |
