Closing a Laceration Using a Skin Stapler - Step-by-step instructions!

In this MiniMedLesson video, I demonstrate how to place skin staples to close lacerations or surgical incisions. This technique is useful because it is quick, simple, and is easy to learn. It's commonly employed on the scalp, but can also be used in other areas of the body, including after some surgeries. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe, like, and follow along!
Be sure to check out this other video that demonstrates how to remove skin staples after the wound has healed - • Surgical STAPLE REMOVA...

Is local anesthesia used to Remove staples??

[@Richard_hnkigf]

anyway im scared its too many of them

[@ultra_axe7812]

As a patient who’s had both staples and stitches, gotta say, much prefer staples

[@yb6451]

Another advantage mentioned for staples is a lower rate of infection compared to sutures.

[@danica9237]

Thank you! I had 47 of these in my head last year.

[@stijn2472]

I hope your okay now.

[@danica9237]

@@stijn2472 thank you! Recovering nicely from radiation still but I’m healing quite remarkably. 💜 brain tumors suck.

[@studyjarahatke]

@@danica9237 are you fine now which is your country? Hope r u fine

[@Richard_hnkigf]

i have 50 on head right now is it painful to remove them?

[@danica9237]

@@Richard_hnkigf hi! So the short answer is no! I was so thankful that is was essentially painless. With the exception of my infected side. That part of my incision was not totally painless. It was tolerable. But if you’re healing fine I think you’re going to do great. ☺️

[@OMARYassin1]

Thank you for this beautiful video

[@Joe___R]

When using the smaller style stapler, I find it easier to hold it with the jaws facing me instead of away like he is doing.

[@MA-dd9dd]

Your videos are so helpful

[@minimedlessons]

Thank you!

[@lifehope1447]

Excellent

[@Zimpfnis]

Thank you for that video. Do you have a video on glueing deeper cuts? Can't find it with a simple search on your channel

[@tausifhussain1730]

could you make a video on how to properly dress a wound and everything that goes with that? thanks in advance and great video as always😊

[@minimedlessons]

Hey thanks for watching and commenting! That’s a great suggestion. I’ll add it to my list of videos to make! Thanks!

[@dedzkie]

@@minimedlessons stapling will be good to know and easy to do but it will be helpful if you make a comprehensive video on when to use skin stapling, wound preparations like irrigation for skin stapling, wound irrigation, etc. Yeah, I'm putting pressure on you. I'll subscribe to your channel once you do. 😂✌✌

[@zakncooper]

Can you show how to suture the triple laceration you have on the practice pad. As i understand the tri-edged bayonet was a huge threat in WW2 because of the difficulty of closure. I'd really appreciate your instruction on this. Thank you.

[@Bettinasisrg]

We used staples a lot in veterinary medicine, unless we had a particularly vain poodle.

[@MSHairCandy]

What type of staples are these that are going into the skin

[@jameslooker4791]

I associate staples with vertebra fusing surgeries but only because of two friends surgeries.

[@ednakranenburg7203]

Great video! Where could someone pick up the learning aid you are using for this Staple demo?

[@caseyanderson9169]

You can find tons of them on amazon

[@Ruby-vm2ce]

How i take the off the skin and when should i...

[@lordkayx]

Is it best to start in the middle like you did?

[@user-pg2if9bw4c]

I would guess so. Takes the pressure out of the laceration.

[@chrism6904]

Not sure if I missed it... but does using a Skin Stapler require the use of local anesthesia? Ie. lidocaine

[@DwenLang]

Its just like taking a vaccine shot

[@someoneyoudontknow7407]

Usually if your needing to staple a wound the little staple is the least of the pain. Gotta keep the blood in the body that is very important!

[@akil4124]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@umanaiduadabala6217]

Can I get this in online? If yes please give me link

[@minimedlessons]

Thanks for commenting! Are you asking about the practice skin pad or the staplers?

[@garyphilips7414]

Yes you can, on amazon

[@user-bm7ot1lg8s]

Good way and faster but I think it's difficult in heart or enter organ

[@minimedlessons]

Yes, staples are not generally used on internal organs. Thanks for watching!

[@DwenLang]

Lol why would these stalpers be used on internal organs

[@user-bm7ot1lg8s]

K.D. 😅that's my thinking

[@goldslinger]

I’ve found that superglue works great with little scarring

[@orbitervehicle102]

superglue is bad for your skin though but if it’s skin glue then nevermind

[@lcmp5527]

Is local anesthesia used to remove staples?

[@yb6451]

no, and I don't use it for placing them either

[@MartinLaforce]

The Martian brought me here

[@crprkillr-xr2zn]

After my surgery I have just over 125 staples inside and outside of me

[@tasneembashir2733]

What type of surgery was that

[@ChunkFive]

I came here because escape from tarkov

[@amyjojinkerson6745]

I look at it that scars are just battle wounds in life

[@robinsmith3242]

If you're using a stapler it had better be because it's an emergency situation. Otherwise it is just leaving a worse scar because you were too lazy to suture

[@michaelmaxwell6187]

Oh, wow!!! You can use basic logic and reason! Another video? Whoa! So... What I did as a 12 year old with a pocket knife 20 years ago?
