Devices to close wounds include standard stitches, which can be placed in different types of configurations. They can be a kind of invisible men's stitch, which is not visible on the outside or conventional stitches which overlap the skin edges. You can also close wounds with medical tape called Steristrips, glue which is like super glue and is made from a similar substance or metal staples or clips.
