The idea
Skin staplers close skin quickly with metal staples, as an alternative to suture.
In practice
Lacerations and surgical wounds are commonly closed with sutures, staples or surgical glue; the choice of staples often reflects cosmetic outcome and surgeon preference.

Staplers are part of the count or tracking process the facility sets, like any device.
