What Are the Most Common Types of Disposable Skin Staplers?

Disposable skin staplers are a highly effective tool for closing wounds and are increasingly being used in medical settings. They are designed for single use and are used to quickly and efficiently close wounds without the need for sutures. In this article, we'll take a look at the most common types of disposable skin staplers available. 


Absorbable skin stapler 


The most common disposable skin stapler is the absorbable skin stapler. This type of stapler is made of absorbable material and provides a high degree of flexibility and strength. This type of stapler is used to close small incisions, such as those made during laparoscopic surgery. It is also ideal for closing wounds in areas where traditional suturing is not possible, such as the scalp. 


Reusable skin stapler


Reusable skin staplers are a more economical option than absorbable skin staplers. This type of stapler can be used multiple times and is made of more durable material. Reusable skin staplers are typically used for larger incisions, such as those made during open surgery. They are also ideal for closing wounds in areas where traditional suturing is not possible, such as the scalp. 


Non-absorbable skin stapler


Non-absorbable skin staplers are a more cost-effective option than absorbable or reusable skin staplers. This type of stapler is designed for single use and is made of more durable material. Non-absorbable skin staplers are typically used for larger incisions, such as those made during open surgery. They are also ideal for closing wounds in areas where traditional suturing is not possible, such as the scalp. 


Disposable skin staplers are a highly effective tool for quickly and efficiently closing wounds without the need for sutures. The most common types of disposable skin staplers available are absorbable, reusable, and non-absorbable. Each type of stapler has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to consider the needs of the patient before making a decision.
