摘要：
A skin closure clamping device includes: (a) a strip whose outer surface includes a front portion that has a number of cavities therein, (b) an assortment of pegs or male staples fabricated from a biodegradable material, each having distal and proximal ends, and wherein each of the pegs distal ends is configured to pierce a patients skin, and each of the pegs proximal ends is configured to allow it to be detachably fitted into one of the cavities of the strip, and each pegs outer surface proximate its distal end having a ratcheting mechanism, and (c) a female member having an outer surface with a front portion that includes an opening configured to receive the pegs distal ends in such a manner that the pegs ratcheting mechanisms interact with the opening to adjustable lock together each of the pegs to the female member so as to apply a compressive force between them that aids in holding a patients skin together while it heals.
