If only the surface bark is stripped, it will heal itself. If the damage is into the first layer of wood youmay need to bandage it similar to a human wound. Wrap the area with a cloth and tape it up. (I use cheap Duct Tape so the sun destroys it in about a year) For sensitive plants (roses for example) you may want to soak the cloth in wax to make a nice seal around the wound. Even if the bark is damaged all the way around the branch, it will still heal in time. If the first layer of wood is removed all the way around for more than an inch or so the branch is better removed.

Why do trees die if too much of their bark is stripped off?
The bark serves as the only protection between the elements and the tree's Cambrian layer. The Cambrian layer is the tree's version of our own blood vessels; it carries the nutrients from the roots to the rest of the tree. With no bark, the layer can freeze, be ripped, or most commonly, dry out.
