A pairing interaction fitted to be applied in nuclei with active particles moving close to the continuum threshold or even immerse in the continuum itself is introduced. It is found that the effects of the non-resonant continuum upon physically meaningful quantities is unimportant. We applied the theory to heavy tin isotopes and good agreement between theory and the very few available experimental data is found.
