The suture strip according to the invention further includes a protective member removably attached to the backing member and covering the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the radiation-curable adhesive. After removal of the protective member to expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive and radiation-curable adhesive, application of the backing member with the exposed pressure-sensitive adhesive onto the patient to secure the facing edges of the wound in close juxtaposition and irradiation of the backing member with curing radiation, the exposed radiation-curable adhesive upon curing together with the backing member maintain the facing edges of the wound in close juxtaposition.
