Abstract
A gaping surgical incision can be closed by drawing the edges of the incision toward one another by the application of traction to the wound. Adhesive strips which project beyond support tapes of a conventional garment-type slide fastener stringer are then applied to the skin along the incision and the slider is closed to provide a healing closure for the wound. Spacer strips between the skin and the support tapes are spaced outwardly from the respective coupling elements to define a free space and prevent the wound from contacting the coupling elements or the support tapes.
