A device for closing wounds is disclosed. The device includes a pair of arms pivotally or movably connected to one another at the inner ends thereof and a pair of skin-engaging members are connected to the arms. The free ends of the skin-engaging members are adapted for piercing the skin in close proximity to a wound. The device is movable from a first, open position wherein the skin-engaging members are separated for placement of the device over a wound to a second, closed position wherein the skin engaging members penetrate the skin adjacent the wound to urge the two edges of a wound together to facilitate healing of the wound. The device includes means for urging the arms to the closed position.
