    Abstract: Devices and methods of closing a wound or incision and inhibiting scar formation in the closed wound or incision are provided. First and second base panels of a device are adhered to skin on first and second lateral sides of the wound or incision, respectively. The first and second panels are coupled together with one or more elastic lateral ties or straps positioned across the wound or incision. A lateral compressive force is applied on the wound or incision with the one or more lateral ties. The lateral compressive force is maintained for a period of time as the wound or incision heals. The maintained lateral compressive force inhibits scar formation in the healing wound or incision.
