摘要

A closure device for use in closing lacerations, incisions, wounds and the like. The closure device includes a relatively narrow closure member connected at one end to an enlarged viewing member. Both members have adhesive layers applied in appropriate places to adhere the closure device to the patient. Protective members are arranged to cover the device so that the device can be handled and applied by a person wearing surgical gloves. The wound closure device may also include a hinge member joining the closure member and the viewing member.
