A wound closure device, in particular a surgical suture, includes an elongated body and projections protruding from the elongated body. Each of the projections is in the shape of a fin-like angular anchoring element having a lower base part with a base length, an upper top part, and a height. The anchoring elements are arranged in a longitudinal direction along the length of the elongated body in at least two rows with a distance between any two anchoring elements in any row. Each anchoring element in a row is aligned relative to an anchoring element of any other row, and each section of the elongated body between two successive anchoring elements in a row has the same tapered shape in the longitudinal direction, with a steady change or an essentially steady change in the cross-sectional area of the elongated body.
