Skin staplers are handheld surgical tools used to quickly close small to moderately sized skin incisions or wounds by applying metal staples. These staples hold the skin edges together until the wound heals, reducing the need for sutures in many cases and speeding up recovery time for patients.
These devices are typically single-use, non-bioabsorbable, and regulated as surgical instruments. They are widely available in hospitals, clinics, and surgical settings, often supplied sterile and preloaded with staples for immediate clinical use.
