The closure device (121) includes first and second interlocking fastening strips (130, 131) arranged to be interlocked over a predetermined length and a slider (132) which slidably engages the first and second fastening strips. T he fastening strips have a longitudinal X axis (160), a transverse Y axis (162) and a vertical Z axis (164). The slider (132) facilitates the occlusion of t he fastening strips (130, 131) when moved towards a first end of the fastening strips and deocclusion of the fastening strips when moved towards a second e nd of the fastening strips. The fastening strips (130, 131) are occluded and deoccluded by moving the first fastening strip relative to the second fastening strip in substantially the vertical Z axis (164). The fastening strips may also move in the Y axis (162), rotate or deflect during occlusion . In addition, the fastening strips may include a locking feature (1244, 1245) to prevent unintentional deocclusion.
