Methods and devices for skin closure

A multi-segmented wound closure device having an overall length A′, a width B, an upper edge, a lower edge, a right-hand edge, and a left-hand edge with each segment of the device comprising:

• a wound closure strip having a length A, a width F, a wound-facing side, a top side, an upper edge and a lower edge, the wound-facing side comprising an adhesive applied over at least a portion of the wound facing side;
• a release liner assembly detachably adhered to the wound closure strip by the adhesive, the release liner assembly consisting of a first section having a length A and a width E and a second section having a length A and a width D;
• wherein the release liner assembly extends the full length A of each segment of the wound closure device and extends the full width B of the wound closure device, wherein the release liner assembly optionally forms a wound closure strip-free tab, wherein the wound closure strip-free tab has a width of G extending from the lower edge of the wound closure device to the lower edge of the wound closure strip;
• wherein the width F of the wound closure strip is greater than the width E of the first section by a width H, where H is equal to length D minus width G;
• and
• wherein the first section and the second section are separated from each other by a liner cut.
