Surgical staple removal: a simple and innovative technique

The biggest disadvantage of these centers is the lack of access to the necessary equipment for precise suture removal. The staple remover is a unique instrument designed for removing surgical staples. It's not ubiquitous, and none of the manufacturers offer staple removers. As a result, physicians at peripheral medical centers do face difficulties in removing sutures without a suitable suture remover. In the absence of a staple remover, the patient's discomfort with the staple remover is also high, so a staple remover must be used. Additionally, even in medical centers with such facilities, staple removers may sometimes not be available, or occasionally, equipment may malfunction or be misplaced. This is a challenging problem in unexpected emergencies, whenever a call is received from the ward or recovery area about a sudden enlargement of the hematoma or uncontrolled bleeding at the site of a surgical suture.

At this juncture, a person may or may not have direct access to a staple remover and must use his clinical knowledge and skills to quickly remove these sutures to control the source of bleeding. In response to this selective and emergency situation, we have designed an innovative intervention and technique that can easily remove these sutures. This technique is simple and easy to replicate in any type of healthy setting and requires no nail remover. To use this technique, we only need two mosquito clips, or even simple clips to remove the sutures. Each arterial clip must be placed under both ends of the staple with the arterial tip facing outward as shown.

After stabilizing during the process, you must hold them tightly and rotate them inward at the same time. This will remove the staples without any discomfort or pain to the patient. The suture is removed in a similar manner to the staple remover, as can be seen from the similar shape of the suture after removal by both techniques.

The minimal discomfort and equivalent results obtained using our simple technique can be easily replicated by any health worker in any type of healthy setting, as the removal mechanism is the same for both techniques. The simplicity, cost-effectiveness, ease of replication, and ease of use of the device make this technology an ideal alternative to staple removers and thus can be used in any peripheral medical setting.

Surgical staple remover application

Surgical staples are used to close surgical incisions or wounds with fairly straight edges. The retention time of staples varies with the patient's wound and healing rate. Staples are usually removed in a doctor's office or hospital. This article will give you an overview of how your doctor removes surgical staples. Removing Staples With a Staple Remover

•  Clean wounds. Depending on the healing incision, use saline, antiseptic (such as alcohol), or sterile cotton swabs to remove any debris or dry      fluid from the wound.
• Slide the lower portion of the stapler under the middle of the staples. Start with one end of the healing incision.
• This is a special tool that doctors use to remove surgical staples.
• Squeeze the stapler handles until they are fully closed. The upper part of the staple remover pushes down on the middle of the staple, pulling the end of the staple out of the cutout.
• Remove the staples by releasing the pressure on the handle. After you remove the staples, put them in a disposable container or bag.
•  Pull the staples out in the same direction to avoid tearing the skin.
•  You may experience a slight squeezing, tingling or pulling sensation. This is normal.

Use the stapler to remove all other staples.

•  When you reach the end of the cut, inspect the area again to check for any staples that may have been missed. This will help prevent future skin irritation and infection.
• Clean the wound again with antiseptic.

Use dry dressings or bandages if necessary. The type of covering applied depends on how well the wound has healed.

• If the skin still separates, use a butterfly bandage. This will provide support and help prevent larger scars from forming.
•  Use gauze dressings to prevent irritation. This will act as a buffer between the affected area and the clothing.

If possible, expose the healing incision to air. Make sure not to cover the affected area with clothing to avoid irritation.

• Watch for signs of infection. The redness around the closed incision should subside within a few weeks. Follow your doctor's advice on wound care and watch for the following signs of infection:
•  Redness and irritation around the affected area.

The affected area is hot to the touch.

• Pain gets worse.
• Yellow or green discharge.
•  fever.
