For several years, operative skin wounds were closed using sterile or non-sterile 3M adhesive tape. Irrespective of their size, the wounds treated in this way healed easier and quicker compared with similar wounds closed using non-resorbable surgical sutures. No reaction at the site of the wound was seen in the patients in whom the wounds were closed by means of non-sterilized adhesive tape.
