Skin Stapler

Skin staplers are a great alternative to sutures. They are quick and simple to use. Skin staplers require less time to use over sutures and can be used one-handed. To properly close a wound with a skin stapler, it's important to keep the wound site as sterile as possible and ideally should be used with the following materials: Sterile Gloves, 4x4 Gauze, Tubular Gauze Bandage, tape for dressing, sterile drapes, irrigation solution (normal saline), 30 to 60ml syringe with an 18-19g iv catheter or irrigation device, skin stapler and remover, Adson Forceps, and an antibiotic ointment.
