Skin closure is one of the most critical steps in any surgical or wound repair procedure. The goal is to approximate tissue edges, minimize infection risk, reduce scarring, and accelerate healing. Traditionally, sutures (stitches) were used, but over the past decades surgical skin staplers have become widely adopted for their speed, consistency, and minimal tissue reaction.
A skin stapler is a mechanical device that places small metal staples through the dermal layer to hold wound edges together. These staples are often made of stainless steel or titanium, which are biocompatible and cause low inflammatory response. Wikipedia+1
Because the stapling process is faster than stitching, operative time decreases, reducing exposure risk and potentially improving workflow in busy surgical settings.
How a Skin Stapler Works & Its Types
- Disposable vs. Reusable: Modern skin staplers are commonly disposable—preloaded with a single-use sterile cartridge to reduce risk of cross-contamination.
- Skin Closure Stapler: Designed specifically for external wound closure, placing staples in a straight line over the incision.
- Internal / Laparoscopic Staplers: These are used inside the body for procedures like anastomosis, resections, and tissue transection. U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- Mechanism: The stapler bends each staple into an “M” or “B”-shape, gripping tissue edges securely. Some advanced staplers combine cutting and stapling in one motion. Medtronic+1
Advantages include:
- Faster placement compared to sutures
- Lower tissue trauma and consistent tension
- Reduced infection risk when handled properly
- Efficient for long or complex incisions
However, care must be taken: misuse or malfunction can lead to staple misfire, inadequate closure, or tissue damage. For internal staplers especially, regulatory bodies like the FDA have issued guidance to manage risks related to stapler performance. U.S. Food and Drug Administration
