Application November 4, 1952, Serial No. 318,713
11 Claims. (Cl. 128*335) This invention relates to an improved surgical adhesive strip.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved surgical adhesive for Wounds which will keep the adapted wound edges visible and accessible to air and medication at all times, While at the same time immobilizing the wound edges, keeping them apart, whereby to prevent overlapping or inversion.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved surgical adhesive for wounds compris- :ing aligned adhesive strips joined to each other by longitudinal filaments of rigid or semi-rigid material, the wound edges being maintained in proper spaced relation to each other by pressing one adhesive section to one side of the wound and the other adhesive section to the other side of the wound with the rigid filaments directly over the wound edges, permitting complete circulation of air in order to expedite the healing of the wound Without the use of any suture.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an improved surgical adhesive of the above type wherein the filaments are easily and readily sterilized.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide an improved surgical adhesive which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, compact, durable, easy to use and eflicient in operation.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:

2,751,9dii ?ai:ented June 26, 1956 Fig. 12 is a transverse sectional view taken along line 12- 12 of Fig. ll.
Referring now in detail to Figs. l-4, and in the practice of my invention, there is shown an adhesive, referred to collectively as 18, consisting of a plurality of aligned strips 11 of adhesive plaster or the like having a coating of adhesive 12 on the unde'rsurface thereof, the strips being longitudinally spaced from each other and interconnected by longitudinal filaments l3 partially embedded in the adhesive 12 and extending the length of the strips.
it is to be understood that the adhesive strips 11 may be of various widths and lengths and that the spaces between the strips and the filaments may be varied.
The filaments 13 may be of any desired gauge and may run the entire length of the adhesive as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or may extend only a sufi'icient distance along the adhesive strips to be firmly attached thereto, and to provide sufiicient plastic rigidity. These filaments are formed of rigid or semi 'rigid materials which are non-combustible, not=initating to the skin and insoluble to tissue juices. Such material may be suitable metal such as steel, alloys, glass wire, asbestos, stainless steel, tantacillium, silver glass, brass, synthetic metallic or non-metallic, rigid but flexible materials, or any other natural or synthetic material which complies with the above requirements.
While I have shown the filaments as being attached to the strip by imbedding in the adhesive 12, it is to be understood that the filaments may be attached to the strips in any other suitable manner, for example, by weaving, sewing, and pasting on.
The filaments 13, as stated above, must be rigid or semirigid, and, also, adequately gauged to suit the different anatomical curves of the human body.
The strips 11 and their associated adhesive 12 and fila ments 13 may be packed singly, as is done with adhesives now on the market, or spun continuously on a spool, as is done with plain adhesive plaster now on the market, carrying markers 11 in mid-portions to indicate the entity of each strip.
In use, one strip 11 is pressed to one side of a wound 14, while the wound edges are kept in proper adapted position, being secured thereto by adhesive 12, and the adjacent strip 11 pressed to the other side of the wound, with the spaced filaments 13 intermediate the strips overlying the wound, permitting complete circulation of air therewithin and keeping the adapted edges 15 immobilized, apart, and preventing overlapping and inversion of the same. It will be noted that the wound is completely visible and accessible to medication without removal of the strips, which frequently causes the edges thereof to tear apart. If necessary, a bandage may be placed intermediate the wound and the filaments if it is desired to keep out dust and dirt. It will thus be seen that the need for suture is thus avoided, and that the rigid filaments keep the adaped wound edges apart whereby to prevent overlapping and inversion during healing.
Before application of my improved adhesive, the filaments intermediate the strips, are sterilized by holding them over a flame or by other customary heat sterilizing methods, thus the necessity and advantage of having a non combustible, heat sterilizable material forming the filaments.
It will be noted that the filaments and strips, while keeping the wound edges apart to prevent overlapping and inversion, at the same time maintain them together in proper spaced relationship to insure healing without use of suture.
Referring now particularly to Figs. 5-9, and in the further practice of my invention, there is shown a modified form of adhesive, referred to collectively as 10', differing from the first form in the length of the filaments "ice 13' and in the provision of additional means for securing them to the strips 11.
The modified adhesive consists of a plurality of aligned strips 11 having a coating of adhesive 12 on the undersurface thereof, the strips being longitudinally spaced from each other and interconnected by shortened filaments 13 partially embedded in the adhesive 12 and extending only a portion of the length of the strips.
A second layer of strips 11, corresponding in length and width to the strips 11, is secured to the undersurface of the strips 11 by means of adhesive 12, with the filaments 13 further secured therebetween. The
strips 11' carry adhesive 12' on their undersurface for collectively as 10", differing from the second form in flte shape of the strips adjacent thefilaments and in the provision of a single filament interconnecting the strips. The modified adhesive 10 consists of a plurality of aligned strips 16 having a coating of adhesive 17 on the undersurface thereof, the strips 16 and adhesive 17 having inwardly flared edges 18 and 18, respectively,
. the strips being longitudinally spaced from each other and interconnected by a single filament 13 partially embedded in the adhesive 17 and extending only a portion of the length of the strips.
A second layer of strips 16, corresponding in length, width, and flared edges 18" to the strips 16 and flared edges 18, is secured to the undersurface of the strips 16 by means of adhesive 17, with the filament 13' further secured therebetween. The strips 16 carry adhesive 17' on their undersurface for securing the adhesive to the skin adjacent the wound 14.
In use, this form is substantially the same as the second form and is particularly adapted for small wounds requiring only a single filament to keep the adapted edges in proper spaced relation.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and .rnodifications coming within the scope of the invention filaments partially embedded in said adhesive, said shorter strips being longitudinally spaced from each other and interconnected by said filaments, said filaments extending substantially the length of said shorter strips and adhesive, said filaments being formed of a rigid material which is non-combustible, whereby to retain the adapted edges of a wound in proper spaced relationship and to permit sterilizing said filaments by heat or flame prior to application on a wound.
