          GARRIS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection of            
          claims 1-30 which are all of the claims in the application.                 
               The subject matter on appeal relates to a method of making             
          adhesive wound closure material or device as well as to the                 
          device resulting from this method.  This appealed subject matter            
          is adequately illustrated by independent claim 1 which reads as             
          follows:
