A retractor device to facilitate aligning and opposing the edges of a wound preparatory to its closing. The retractor is a resiliently flexible strip member having hooks attached at each end thereof. The hooks are adapted to engage the extremities of the incision when the strip member is bent to a partially bowed configuration so that the resulting tension which is applied through the hooks operates to align the edges of the wound along the entire length of the incision.
