A wound closure device using magnets to draw skin together. When two skin adhering magnets are placed on opposite sides of a wound in a polar opposite configuration, the magnets attract each other, thus drawing the skin underneath the magnets together and reapproximating wound edges. The device includes a removable sheet having an elongated partition member that separates the first magnet from the second magnet. When the removable sheet and elongated partition member are removed from the magnets, the removal allows the magnets to draw in close together to reapproximate wound edges. To prevent slippage of the magnets, the inner edges of each magnet may have complementary notches and protrusions that align with each other, thereby preventing longitudinal movement of the magnets along their inner edges.
