Product Information

Due to the fact that surgical staples are most often used for repairing wounds in the skin, having the right instrument to remove surgical staples, such as, a staple removal kit, is extremely important for removal when considering comfort and convenience. After a patient has had a procedure requiring staples, the last thing they want to think about is uncomfortable removal, so a tool that has been specifically designed for the job is essential. However, there are more aspects to consider than just the right tools when it comes to proper staple removal. Since surgical staples are made in a range of sizes and heights, it is important that the correct one is chosen for the task at hand. Most linear staplers come with at least three different staple heights and it is crucial that the right one is selected to avoid the possibility of leakage, bleeding, or dehiscence. At this present time, staple size is usually chosen based on experience and anecdotal evidence, which means that there is always the chance of the wrong size being chosen. [5] Replace the removed staple with sterile surgical tape. Make sure the tape stretches to 1.5-2 cm either side of the incision.

In the mid-twentieth century, the Scientific Research Institute for Experimental Surgical Apparatus and Instruments was set up in Moscow due to the demand for quality training for surgeons who would be carrying out complex procedures far away from main cities. As well as providing training and education, the Institute was instrumental in developing surgical equipment, including a range of single line, linear cutter and circular staplers to be used in a range of circumstances. This was groundbreaking, but since all the devices were made by hand, individual parts were not always interchangeable. It is important for a person to always wash their hands before and after they touch their incision. Cromi A, et al. (2010). Cosmetic outcomes of various skin closure methods: A randomized trial. DOI: Place lower tip of staple extractor beneath the staple. Do not pull up while depressing handle on staple remover or change the angle of your wrist or hand.

When it comes to wound closure, doctors consider two major options depending on the body part that’s affected: stitches or surgical staples.

Initially, other types of devices were trialed, some inspired by the sewing machines of the time. It was clear that there was a need for automated devices and clamps to assist surgeons in optimizing their suture placement. However, these early inventions did not prove popular and it wasn’t until 1908 that Hungarian Dr. Humer Hultl developed the first surgical stapler. Staplers are easy to learn how to use, although further training may be required as technology is updated As with sutures or stitches, staples can cause scarring. However, staples can lead to more scarring because they don’t require meticulous cosmetic repair. Finally, carry out hand hygiene again and document all aspects of the procedure according to protocol. Should there be any unusual activity or concerns about the staple removal, make sure that these are promptly reported as appropriate. Explaining to the patient what will happen during the procedure and offering various options to support the patient such as analgesia or use of bathroom

If the stapler hasn’t been properly fired, the staples will be formed incorrectly and may pull out of the tissue, opening up the wound.

When removing surgical staples, it is important that the staple remover be positioned correctly. To do this, position the lower jaw of your staple remover beneath the staple. Take care that the remover is in the center of the staple and aligned so that it is parallel with the incision below. The remover’s upper jaw will then be lying over the staple’s mid-portion.

Dr. Hultl sold just 50 of his surgical staplers. This was partly due to the expense and problems with reloading, but there was also the simple fact that many surgeons were reluctant to try out new technology. Nevertheless, Hultl’s stapler inspired another Hungarian, Dr. Aladár Petz, to improve on the design. The Von Petz stapler was much lighter and easier to manipulate and used silver staples. A major bonus was that it was much cheaper and Von Petz staplers were sold globally, making it easier for surgeons to see for themselves the benefits of this modern innovation. Instruct patient not to pull off Steri-Strips and to allow them to fall off naturally and gradually (usually takes one to three weeks). Surgical tape is useful for low tension or linear lacerations, as well as for use underneath casts and splints and with fragile skin.
