Abstract

The present invention relates to a dispenser for the silicone sheeting and the adhesive anchors and method for treating sites, such as wounds or closed incisions, using the silicone sheeting and anchors. The silicone sheeting may be provided in the form of a roll, which includes a leader. The silicone sheeting may be cut from the roll, or may be of precut sizes. Adhesive anchors may be cut from a roll or may be of precut sizes.
