Corded non-invasive wound closure device with rigid sliders as redundant supports

A non-invasive wound closure device, comprising:

• two elongated side strips, each of the side strips having a bandage adhered to a lower surface, an outer surface of the bandage having an adhesive thereon,
• each side strip has an elongated protrusion on an upper surface of the side strip that extends longitudinally along the side strip, the protrusion having a top face, a perpendicular face on one side thereof, and an angled undercut face forming a wedge tongue on an opposing side,
• the perpendicular face having a plurality of holes that pass through the protrusion, and
• a securing cord that is threaded alternately through the holes of a first one of the side strips and a second one of the side strips;
• such that
• the side strips are placed on either side of an open wound, a user of the device pushing the side strips into a desired position on the sides of the wound, the adhesive of the bandage adhering to undamaged skin around the wound,
• the side strips then being secured in position by the cord, the cord being tied off to hold the side strips in position, and
• if the user needs to reopen the wound, the cord is loosened and the side strips are pulled away from each other, the side strips being restored to their secured position to again close the wound.
