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 hollow tubular enclosures that enclose powdered magnetic material and permits two magnets to maintain a linear or non-linear shape along linear or non-linear edges of a wound.
