Abstract
A surgical wound closure in which none of the closure elements contact the wound surface includes a pair of flexible and pliable plastic skeleton rods having facing surfaces connectable together by alternate buttons and sockets. The outer surfaces of the rods support a plurality of pins that extend outward and downward to a position below the lower surface of the interconnected rods and which then terminate in inward curved sharpened points for engaging the skin about 8 mm each side of the wound edges. Each pin is provided with a plastic coating which ends short of the curved point to serve as a stop to limit the insertion of the pin.
