Abstract
A sterile prepackaged disposable applicator for metal skin clips has been used in 72 patients with a variety of standard incisions in the neck, thorax, abdomen, and limbs. The applicator has been found to be simple to use after very little experience. Its outstanding advantage is that it furnishes a significantly more rapid method of closing wounds than the use of interrupted skin sutures. There have been no problems with wound healing, and patients have found no significant discomfort either with having the clips in place or with their removal. There are a few minor points of technique to learn in the use of clips and their removal, but these have been rapidly learnt without any problem by the members of our surgical and nursing staffs.
