Abstract
A wound closure system includes a device having a first main body and a second main body. Each of the first main body and the second main body has an adhesive backing. The first main body is coupled to the second main body by an adjustable connector. The adjustable connector is permitted to move in a single direction. In the event of an injury, the first and second main bodies are placed on opposite sides of a wound and are then pulled together, thereby sealing the wound.
Claims18
A wound closure device comprising:
- a first main body and a second main body, the first main body spaced apart from the second main body, and each of the first main body and the second main body having an adhesive backing;
- and
- an adjustable connector coupling the first main body to the second main body, the first main body having a first angled wall and the second main body having a second angled wall, wherein the first angled wall and the second angled wall are oriented so that a movement of the first main body toward the second main body by the adjustable connector in operation results in a downward force being applied to the first main body and the second main body.
A wound closure system comprising a plurality of wound closure devices, wherein each of the wound closure devices comprises:
- a first main body and a second main body, the first main body spaced apart from the second main body, and each of the first main body and the second main body having an adhesive backing;
- and
- an adjustable connector coupling the first main body to the second main body, the first main body having a first angled wall and the second main body having a second angled wall, wherein the first angled wall and the second angled wall are oriented so that a movement of the first main body toward the second main body by the adjustable connector in operation results in a downward force being applied to the first main body and the second main body.
A kit for a wound closure device comprising:
- a first main body having a first adhesive backing and a first angled wall;
- a second main body having a second adhesive backing and a second angled wall;
- and
- an adjustable connector configured to couple the first main body to the second main body, with the first main body spaced apart from the second main body, and the first main body having a first angled wall and the second main body having a second angled wall, wherein the first angled wall and the second angled wall are oriented so that a movement of the first main body toward the second main body by the adjustable connector in operation results in a downward force being applied to the first main body and the second main body.
