Surgical Staplers Have Become an Integral Part of the Pharmaceutical Industry
The surgical staplers are used in surgical procedures to close or seal the wound or the incised portion of the body. Surgical staplers can be used to close or seal both internal as well as external wounds. Surgical staplers are made of titanium or stainless steel (or iron, plastic, chromium, or sometimes nickel) and are usually used to close deep lacerations which are not appropriate for ordinary stitches, or areas of the body under high tension. They work by compressing tissue, joining two pieces of tissue with staggered rows of B-shaped surgical staples, and in some models, cutting off excess tissue to create a clean closure of the wound.
The surgical staplers were first developed in the 20th century and have since been used as a mode of mechanical suturing in many surgical procedures. They are usually used in complex surgical procedures such as gastrointestinal, thoracic, and gynecologic procedures. Moreover, they are widely used over surgical sutures due to advantages such as quick placement, minimal interaction with the tissue, low risk of infection, strong and accurate wound closure, and reduction in inflammation near the wound.
Moreover, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is incorporating robotics in the surgery, which also includes the staplers. Moreover, hospitals, clinics, and medical centers in Cancun (Mexico) are known to perform stomach stapling surgery (also called vertical banded gastroplasty), a procedure carried out to achieve weight loss. Close to US$ 2 billion worth of surgical stapling devices were sold worldwide in 2016, and revenues are expected to double by the end of 2026. Surgical staples are used to close wounds or surgical incisions that are too big or complex to close with traditional stitches. Modern surgical staplers are either disposable or reusable and are pre-equipped with disposable cartridges.
