Surgical staples are specialized staples used in surgery to close skin wounds. Surgical staples are deployed using a disposable stapler, and removed with a specailized staple remover. It is much faster to close a wound using staples than by suturing by hand. Staples may be removed without the staple remover, but it is much slower, and more painful for the recipient.
Materials
Surgical staples are made of stainless steel.
Cosmetics
The cosmetic results of staples have been shown to be equivalent to sutures in Cesarean sections.
