Publication number: 20160206312Abstract: An apparatus for closing a surgical incision comprises left and right base panels, a plurality of closure components, and a plurality of left and right axial supports coupled to the respective base panels. The closure components couple the left and right base panels to each other laterally and have left and right ends coupled to the respective base panels. The closure components are positioned laterally across the left and right panels, the left axial supports are disposed between pairs of left closure component ends, the right axial supports are disposed between pairs of right closure component ends, and the left and right axial supports are offset from one another such that a serpentine arrangement of consecutive closure components and axial supports is formed. The apparatus can be made of antimicrobial materials or materials impregnated with antimicrobial agents. A flexible adhesive cover can be provided over the apparatus when in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2016Publication date: July 21, 2016Inventors: Amir BELSON, Eric STORNE, Alan SCHAER, Pankaj RATHI, Keiichiro ICHIRYU, Peter D'AQUANNI, Luke CLAUSON
