Introduction:On a daily basis, dermasurgeons are faced with different kinds of wounds that have to be closed. With a plethora of skin closure materials currently available, choosing a solution that combines excellent and rapid cosmetic results with practicality and cost-effectiveness can be difficult, if not tricky.Objectives:We aimed to review the available skin closure materials over the past 20 years and the scientific claims behind their effectiveness in repairing various kinds of wounds.Materials and Methods:The two authors independently searched and scrutinised the literature. The search was performed electronically using Pub Med, the Cochrane Database, Google Scholar and Ovid as search engines to find articles concerning skin closure materials written since 1990.Conclusion:Many factors are involved in the choice of skin closure material, including the type and place of the wound, available materials, physician expertise and preferences, and patient age and health. Evidence-based main uses of different skin closure materials are provided to help surgeons choose the appropriate material for different wounds.

“…Significantly, there is little evidence-based understanding of the comparative suitability of different closure methods. Very few side-by-side studies of suture techniques have been undertaken, [1][2][3][4][5][6] and when they have, these have not been high-quality studies.…”

“…Advantages include a reduced need for anesthesia, ease and speed of application, even distribution of tension across the wound, no residual suture marks, application by nonphysician personnel, and the elimination of the need for suture removal. 23 A bewildering variety of wound tapes are currently on the market. 21,22 Tapes do not work well on surfaces that are oily or hair bearing, on joint surfaces, on lax skin, on gaping wounds under tension, or on very young or uncooperative children.…”
