Abstract
A skin closure instrument and method of use are disclosed. Broadly a tool grasps skin edges and applies glue evenly in rapid and reproducible fashion, thereby enabling a single healthcare provider to perform the procedure. In the preferred embodiment, the instrument is packaged in a sterile container for a single use. The glue may be packaged along with the instrument, or may be added to a reservoir. The system is applicable to both small and large wounds, and is easy to manipulate by a single operator, resulting in a rapid consistent closure of wound edges.
