3M Precise Skin Staplers & Removers

When a wound needs fast, secure closure, disposable skin staplers do the job faster than suturing and with consistent staple placement every time. The 3M Precise line covers both sides of that workflow — placing the staples and, later, removing them cleanly — with single-use instruments built for reliable performance in the ER, OR, procedure room, and urgent care.

The 3M Precise Multi-Shot Wound Stapler (DS-5) uses a squeeze-handle design and stainless steel/nickel wide staples to approximate skin edges quickly. Because it's a single-patient-use device, there's no reprocessing and no cross-contamination concern — you open it, use it, and dispose of it. It's not made with natural rubber latex, which matters for patients and staff with latex sensitivities.

Pair it with the 3M Precise Scissor-Style Skin Staple Remover (SR-3) at follow-up. The scissor-style handle gives clinicians familiar, controlled leverage to lift and back out staples without pinching or tugging the healed site, and it's also single-use and latex-free. A common question buyers ask: does the remover work with any staple? These scissor-style removers are designed for standard wide skin staples like those the Precise stapler places, so keeping both on hand keeps closure and removal matched.

Both items ship non-sterile-packaged for single use — check individual product pages for pack and case quantities when ordering for a facility. Stocking staplers and removers together avoids the frustration of having closure supplies without the tool to remove them at the return visit.
