Abstract: A skin closure device is used in closing a circuitous opening in the skin of a patient, such as a wound or incision. The opening is defined by circuitous lateral sides extending indirectly from a first end to a second end of the opening along a length of the opening. The lateral sides define a predetermined shape of the opening. The skin closure device includes an adhesive strip having a first end portion, a second opposite end portion, and a circuitous central portion extending indirectly from the first end portion to the second end portion. The first end portion covers the first end of the opening. The second end portion covers the second end of the opening. The central portion is engageable with the lateral sides defining the opening. The adhesive strip has a predetermined shape substantially corresponding to the predetermined shape of the opening.
