A cicatrisive strip suture is formed from an elastic sheet material oriented on a bias so as to provide even compressive forces all along a wound. The sheet material includes a transparent central portion allowing visual alignment of the wound during suture application. Adhesive coated tongues extend outwardly from opposite sides of the central portion to engage the tissue on each side of the wound and hold the suture in proper position. The suture also includes doubled-over backing strips for simple application of the suture to the wound and a sanitary outer wrapper. A sterility bridge formed across the wrapper and suture maintains the sterility of the remaining portion of the suture when a segment of the suture is removed for use.
