Skin closure using a new skin clip.
A new skin clip that allows rapid skin closure with minimal trauma to the skin has been devised. The clip can be used in most conventional incisions on the neck, extremities, thorax, and abdomen. It cannot be used where skin is tightly adherent, as in the scalp, palm, and soles of the feet. Closure with this skin clip has proved to be dependable and to provide an aesthetic hairline scar.
