Surgical Staplers – Overview

Surgical staplers are medical devices designed to securely fasten tissues together during surgical procedures. They serve as an alternative to traditional sutures or stitches and are widely used in various surgical specialties. Surgical staplers consist of a handle, a cartridge containing small metal staples, and a mechanism for deploying and firing the staples into the tissue. These devices are utilized to create strong and reliable connections between tissues, facilitating faster and more efficient wound closure. Surgical staplers offer several advantages over sutures, including reduced procedure time, improved wound healing, decreased risk of infection, and enhanced cosmetic outcomes.
