skin staples
Surgical closure clips
Skin staples are U-shaped metal fasteners used to close surgical incisions or wounds, applied with a specialized stapler and removed with a matching extractor.
They're faster to apply than sutures and often used for scalp lacerations, cesarean sections, and orthopedic procedures: The nurse removed the skin staples ten days after surgery.
