The device comprises a frame having two opposing first and second sides and a lower surface and an upper surface, and a band for extending around said separated tissues to be held together in conjunction with said frame.

When the ends are secured to the sides of the frame, the band establishes a path of tension along its length that extends linearly between the two ends of the band.
