Abstract: An elongated flexible base strip is constructed with a bottom surface coated with an adhesive material. The base strip is constructed with bridging links which are spaced along the inner edge of the base strip and extend outward therefrom. The base strip, is cut to a first length and aligned with the wound with the bridging links extending over the wound. A matching portion of base strip is cut to a second length and aligned with the wound with the bridging links opposing. The opposing links are drawn together to close the wound. Adhesive on the links holds the links to the opposite base strip.

Abstract: An elongated flexible base strip is constructed with a bottom surface coated with an adhesive material. The base strip is constructed with bridging links that are spaced along the inner edge of the base strip and extend outward therefrom. Adhesive sections above and below the strip are exposed and a shield is provided to protect the exposed adhesive sections from above and below the base strip. The base strip, is cut to a first length and aligned with the wound with the bridging links extending over the wound. The base strip is marked with guide lines used to avoid interference between opposing bridging links. The guidelines are positioned in the gap between bridging links and located so that when the guidelines of opposite base strips are aligned the bridging links do not interfere with each other. A matching portion of base strip is cut to a second length and aligned with the wound with the bridging links opposing. The opposing links are drawn together to close the wound.
