{"title":"Staples","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSkin Staplers \u0026amp; Surgical Staples\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin staplers close incisions and lacerations faster than sutures, with consistent tension across the wound and less tissue trauma when applied correctly. This collection brings together sterile, single-patient-use \u003cstrong\u003ewound staplers\u003c\/strong\u003e from the brands clinicians already trust — 3M, Cardinal Health, McKesson, and Teleflex — for emergency departments, operating rooms, and procedure suites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice most buyers are weighing is staple width. \u003cstrong\u003eWide staples\u003c\/strong\u003e — found in the 3M Precise Multi-Shot DS-5, Cardinal Health Appose UCL, Teleflex Visistat, and McKesson 168-35W — span more tissue and are typically chosen for scalp, trunk, and areas under tension. \u003cstrong\u003eRegular staples\u003c\/strong\u003e, such as the McKesson 168-35, suit finer approximation where a lower profile matters. Staple count per device also varies; the 3M Precise Multi-Shot is built for higher-volume closures, while single-shot units cover routine repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery stapler here uses a squeeze-handle mechanism and stainless steel staples for reliable formation and clean release. Several — including the 3M and McKesson lines — are \u003cstrong\u003enot made with natural rubber latex\u003c\/strong\u003e, an important detail for latex-sensitive patients and staff. All are supplied sterile and intended for single-patient use, so there's no reprocessing to track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you order, match the device to the closure: staple width, the number of staples the case requires, and whether your protocol specifies latex-free. Pairing your staplers with the right staple removers ahead of the follow-up visit keeps the full episode of care stocked.
