A disposable skin stapler，which named as surgical stapler， is a medical device which is used to place surgical staples. Skin staples are used to suture the skin wound ranging from bowel resections to skin incisions, and they are found widely all over the world in surgical settings. Before having surgery, patients may want to ask their surgeons about which method will be used for wound closure, and if there will be special precautions for after care. Patients should also alert their surgeons to any metal allergies, as disposable skin stapler are usually alloys, and the surgeon will not want to place staples if a patient is allergic to a metal such as nickel.
Disposable skin stapler were developed in response to concerns about the healing of traditional sutures. Evidence seemed to suggest that sutures were more prone to leaks and separation, although further study indicates that when placed properly, conventional sutures are perfectly safe. However, the development of the disposable skin stapler also created a number of advantages, including speed, accuracy, and evenness of wound closure, which made the stapler a useful operating room tool.
Disposable skin stapler made from JOINTO is fitted with disposable cartridges and used on a single patient. A related tool to the surgical stapler is a clip applier, a device which is used to apply surgical clips. Both clips and staples can be used on many different types of surgical wounds and incisions. Once the healing process is complete, they can be removed. Removal is accomplished with a surgical staple remover which is designed to remove staples with minimal trauma to the surgical site.
