Abstract

A surgical fastener and applicator for positioning the same are provided for subcuticular incision closure. The fastener 10 is provided with a pair of arcuately shaped arms 12, 14 that extend outwardly from a pair of foot plates 16, 18 that form a hinge 20, which is selectively movable between open and closed positions to draw the arms toward one another. The hinge is secure in the closed position by one of various mechanical fastening mechanisms. The fastener is comprised of a bio-absorbable material to facilitate subcuticular use. The applicator is shaped to position fasteners in subcuticular fashion without impairment of the user's view of the incision.
