The invention provides an annular skin stretching device, comprising a stretching line, a rod body, a hollow pipe, and retaining clips which can slide relative to the rod body. A wound surface skin is continuously sutured by the stretching line. After suture, the tail ends of two sides of the stretching line intersect and pass through the hollow pipe, and the tail ends of two sides of the stretching line are respectively tensioned on the retaining clips on the corresponding sides. The retaining clips move a certain distance towards the corresponding ends of the rod body, so under the action of the stretching line, the skin around the wound surface is stretched to a certain degree to the center of the wound surface, and then the retaining clips are fixed on the rod body, to keep stretching. The skin around the wound surface continuously tightens toward the center of the wound surface under the action of the stretching line, so as to gradually reduce the wound surface. The device is simple, light and handy in structure, and has little influence on motion of a patient. The device is suitable to be used in irregular skin defects, and can reduce economical burden of the patient.
