A method is disclosed for accelerating the stretching of skin and the closing of open skin wounds which includes the steps of attaching a plurality of anchors, which have fasteners attached to one side of the anchors, to the surface of the skin adjacent to the wound with an adhesive whereby the anchors are spaced around the wound in a manner to allow at least one strap with a plurality of fastener receivers to be positioned across the wound and the fastener receivers to be coupled to the fasteners. At least one strap with the fastener receivers is positioned across the wound. The fasteners are coupled to a plurality of the fastener receivers which are attached to at least one strap. The tension of at least one strap is adjusted to maintain sufficient tension to stretch the skin proximate to the fasteners thereby significantly accelerating wound closure. |
