surgical stapler

Tissue fastening device

A surgical stapler is a medical device that closes wounds or joins tissues using metal staples instead of sutures.

Surgeons use them to seal incisions, connect organs during procedures like bowel resections, or close skin after surgery.

They work faster than hand-stitching and provide consistent, uniform closure.

The surgeon used a surgical stapler to reconnect the intestine.
