A surgical fastener for fastening layers of body tissue as in skin grafting procedures. The fastener comprises a backspan and at least two barbed prongs. The barbs are flat, triangular and are coplanar with respect to each other, as well as being in parallel alignment with the axis of the backspan. The surgical fastener is made of bioabsorbable material to eliminate the need for removal. In alternative embodiments the prongs are obliquely oriented and resiliently biased inward for holding adjacent edges of body tissue in close contact. The alternative embodiments can have arm members projecting from a bridge member.
