Just recently had to staple a laceration on my leg, while I was on a hike far away from anyone. I always had a stapler like that sealed and sterile in my pack, for emergencies. Never had to use it before, and it worked perfectly and didn't even hurt that much. Crazy efficient and easy/intuitive to use. I recommend one of these and a staple remover, if you are an outdoors person. The wound was fixed up in minutes, and it gave me the possibility to reach safety without getting my wound dirty and infected. (which can be catastrophic in a survival situation) Healed up nicely and quickly, while still out and about.

But with what I had on hand out there it couldn't have gone better. Of course they asked if it was really necessary to go further than a bandage, but it was deep and ugly enough to warrant mechanical closure of the wound, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. The laceration/tear was inflicted by a broken glass bottle sticking out of some vegetation I passed through. It stabbed me into my leg and ripped out sideways. It was bleeding profusely and was too wide for anything less than stitching or staples.

They did it afterwards to help easy the pain. I got a juice pack and chips as well as a blanket out of it.

I’ve gotten hundreds of stitches in my life and it’s to the point where I request to not get freezing and I really like to watch haha; I’ve got more questions than pain. I’ve always made jokes with doctors and even helped a few by passing them their instruments while they are busy bringing my skin back together. It’s so interesting to learn and I’ve even been the subject for a few students learning and shadowing doctors stitching some lacerations I’ve had. I think after learning more and more I either want to enter med school, or learn how to self-administer sutures.

I ended up sealing a nearly 3 inch laceration a friend got playing with sharp knife with super glue, medical paper tape and neosporine and it actually worked and he only has a faint pink line several years later, he never got any medical attention for it, i just washed it, held it tight together and taped around the leg once i had it where it was supposed to be and super glued the ends added the neo and then tore off essentially butterfly suture band aids i fashioned, then carefully connected like laces, then more neo, and then i had a single large gauze square i taped around relatively tight and had him sleep with his leg high up with a saw table horse and a pillow on it, then later that night i made a sort of hammock and attached it to the ceiling with and eye bolt to suspend his leg like a slimg even higher up. I urged him to seek medical care the next day and he said he would but he ended up just keeping it clean and bandage changed and bought actual butterfly suture bandaid strips and the neo sealed that up perfectly!!! It was pretty incredible considering how much blood and how wide and long the gash was.

He said it feels just like a bee sting. I know the people in the emergency room could hear me swearing and dropping F-Bombs from my room, and the door was closed. After the doctor was done, I asked what kind of bees he was getting stung by because that shit was horrible. But when they took them out later, I didn't feel a thing.

Yup lazy fucking work. Doc has to, if he cares about anything about you as a dam living being… needs to take a mili second to hold some skin so you can have the best possible recovery. Anything less is simply a failure morally and in practice. Doesn’t matter if he thinks the stapler did it’s job. I can see from here where the unevenness starts.
Thank God we have localized anesthesia. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have medical procedures done like this without it
I don't know why I keep getting stitching videos but im fascinated all the same.
I'm not a med student but I think you should know this in case something happens in the future

It always sounds more bad a$$ or gruesome when you tell your friends i just got staples in my head
this is Awsome. teachings !!!! Thank You.!!!!
I experienced the pain of those staples when I was only 6 years old. My sister through this fuel hose cup-link at my head after I said no to moving.(she was 5) I was rushed to the ER on Base and I had to be held down by my dad while my mom held my legs down as the doctors cleaned the wound and saw that my skull wasn’t broken but they had to stop the bleeding so they used staples without numbing the area first. They did it afterwards to help easy the pain. I got a juice pack and chips as well as a blanket out of it.
Wow I really like your style

I know it's a very good and effective tool, but I can't shake the feeling it's an improvised tool and just happens to work, like someone grabbed an office stapler and did something he wasn't supposed to one time.
Ohhh boy this just reminded me when I had almost 200 staples removed after my incision healed from my hip surgery
I’m not a med student but that looks like it could help alot in a shop
Thanks man your videos are going to be really helpful when the world goes to shit and we’ve got to provide for ourselves again 💪🏻
When i was in the burn unit thats how they had most my leg held together, ill never forget that
Honestly as a layman, I would assume to do it the second way he showed. In a zombie apocalypse situation or something this shit is gooooood
If only skin lacerations were this clean.
The stripe on top is as a reference width for direct sticking without your second hand to assist in closure.
After I sewed up a 3in x 1/2in deep gash on my arm, I immediately ordered myself a staple kit. Forearm skin is really tough to push a thread and needle through.
I could've used one of these when I was a kid 🤐🤕 save a lot of time in the ER waiting room.
Next time I need stitches I’ll let you know so you can teach me more haha. You popped into my fyp and have touched on areas I’ve always found interesting. I’ve gotten hundreds of stitches in my life and it’s to the point where I request to not get freezing and I really like to watch haha; I’ve got more questions than pain. I’ve always made jokes with doctors and even helped a few by passing them their instruments while they are busy bringing my skin back together. It’s so interesting to learn and I’ve even been the subject for a few students learning and shadowing doctors stitching some lacerations I’ve had. I think after learning more and more I either want to enter med school, or learn how to self-administer sutures.
I love your explanations.. many many thanks for easy understanding
I’ve had over 100 staples in me from various skin graft surgeries and I never want to see another medical staple again! Those suckers hurt coming out!
i love these videos so much. i love having things explained to me, even if i don't need the information at all. you have a very calm and nice voice!
Super glue and duck tape is my go to.
I can feel that getting pressed into my head and echoing in my skull while watching this
Larger looks more comfortable to the patient both in application and alleviating discomfort during the healing process.
Wish the nurse had this video back when I had staples in my head… ended up with more staples than I needed
When is the stapler a preferred option?

Staples are preferred when there's a lot of tension in the area/thinner skin (like the scalp/head/back of the hand etc), or where there's a higher chance of infection, because they don't penetrate as deeply into the tissue as stitches do.
I think it would be a good idea to have one of those on deck at all times. Seems pretty useful for deep cuts.
I love you guys. Seriously.
It would be nice to see how far apart the edges can be and the large stapler is actually able to pull the edges together still. Will you show us?
Dang this brings back memories not good ones they hurt when they got pulled out
Never gotten staples but if they're anything compared to stitches I'm gonna try to avoid getting hurt bad enough to require them.
I remeber I was 13 when I got staples when I fell headfirst onto a chainlink fence, and I had to get a tetnes shot as well. On top of that, I had a concussion, one of the Worst days of my life
Top of my head was used as staple training when I was a kid once lol. Had like 3 all together then a 1/4 inch gap and one last at the end
thanks bro its so helpful..was always so bad at sutures.Allah bless you man.
Like i have stated before, giving myself stitches in the bush wasn't perfect but you see the symmetry here.
I've had a few VP Shunt surgeries & they used staples for 3, all stitches for the 4th, then we moved to LP shunt w/stitches for number 5 as the ventricle it was in collapsed. Staples were the WORST. They are fine for the first 48 hours, but once your body starts healing the itching & soreness kicks in. I find them to be tantamount to torture. I always took them out 2-3 days early! ❤️🖖🏼
When my brother was probably 4 and I was 13 we were wrestling and I accidentally pushed him into the corner of a wall and he got a fat gash in his head. He got staples in the gash and I watched it and I still wince when I think about it. That kind of deep anguish because I really hurt him and it could’ve been so much worse. My dad says I put my signature on his head. Thanks dad.
This is the most sane videos on my youtube shorts.
NGL im watching BC I never know when I'll need this information
I have one if these ar home. My dogs love to run around and occasionally one of them will chase a deer or cyote and go through a fence and come home with a gash on them. This works perfectly tostitch them up and doesn't seem all that painful or bothersome to the dog. They seem to dislike getting their nails trimmed more than this thing.
Thank you for sharing these videos-facinating to watch..
You can buy stuff online? Who’d a thunk. 😁 I was looking for “links in the description” and when I didn’t find them my efforts crumbled into dust…… Cool videos!
Never know when I'll need this But thank you ✊️
Need to get me one of these for my first aid kit.
These things are great amd absolutely horrible lol. Had 18 of these pulled out from my chest after heart surgery, and boy did it suck! 😅 didn't help that the tech (never took one off before) asked the nurse if she could try one.
I ended up sealing a nearly 3 inch laceration a friend got playing with sharp knife with super glue, medical paper tape and neosporine and it actually worked and he only has a faint pink line several years later, he never got any medical attention for it, i just washed it, held it tight together and taped around the leg once i had it where it was supposed to be and super glued the ends added the neo and then tore off essentially butterfly suture band aids i fashioned, then carefully connected like laces, then more neo, and then i had a single large gauze square i taped around relatively tight and had him sleep with his leg high up with a saw table horse and a pillow on it, then later that night i made a sort of hammock and attached it to the ceiling with and eye bolt to suspend his leg like a slimg even higher up. I urged him to seek medical care the next day and he said he would but he ended up just keeping it clean and bandage changed and bought actual butterfly suture bandaid strips and the neo sealed that up perfectly!!! It was pretty incredible considering how much blood and how wide and long the gash was.
Had these in when had acl surgery on knee. The women that took them out cracked everyone in half.
I'm afraid of blood and all such stuff, but your videos make it look so great!
Love your videos ❤. Can you please make a video of how to take the staples out , Once area has healed?
I keep one in my hunting pack. I've had to use alternative means more than once to close injuries before and it sucked.
Thanks for the demonstration doc, can you do my leg now I’m feeling a bit woozy
I just have a fascination with medicine
I’m to ocd them things would have to be perfect. I feel like that’s what causes scars man
As a brain surgeon of 74 years, I found using a nail gun is faster and less messy than a stapler.

Super glue works well, also. Bit of super glue to hold the skin together, with a nice layer of car body filler over the whole area, a good sanding down and a re spray and it's job done! Good as new! Nobody will even tell they've been in an accident!

I remember having those from my sternum bone all the way down past my belly button. Talk about abs hurting. By the time it was time to get them taken out I was like nahh I already did it lol. There like well we need to see and make sure you didn’t do it to early or cause an infection or anything. I told them I was removing them as they started to have skin grow over. They didn’t like it at all lol asked if I clipped them because I could have missed a piece I said nope tug it all the way to one side pull that side out then when you pull to the other side slides out whole. They said they never had a patient do that lol. I figured I too enough stitches out of myself before what’s a ton of staples lol
I dont have many triggers, but i was immediately uncomfortable and tingly in my scars. Ive had over 80 staples, nearly 100. None of them are from fond memories.
I fell off a balcony when i was about 6 and landed flat on my head and had to get 4 staples on the top of my head it took 40 minutes and i still remember the doctor saying im glad you choose staples
I having had both stiches and staples on several occasions. In my opinion, staples are better for both wound care and scaring.

Man even having only seven staples on a laceration on the side of my knee sucked terribly
I have seen so many stitching shorts that all I need is a job at a hospital
Staple smaller in the middle = less scar
Stiches im fine with, staples get me. My dad got a big gash in his leg after falling off a ladder which they stapled shut. Later when they took the staples out, they literally didnt know how many they put in him and forgot -23 of them. My dad was in intense pain where the staples were left, and we couldnt afford another hospital or ER visit, so he went outside to his polebard and litterally took out the last 2 himself with a pair of pliers. I say 2-3 because he thinks there might be another left in his leg.
I have staples in my leg rn and I think that's cool because I was asleep when they were put in
We used to open up staplers and smack each other in the arm with them. I still remember the exasperated face on our teacher when he caught us.
I cut my knee while walking past a piece of metal siding. Nothing could make the bleeding stop as the cut was right on the top of the knee. I then remembered something I learned from a corpsman during my Marine days. I went in the house and got a tube of superglue and used that to glue the two edges of skin back together. In a short while I was good to go and the bleeding stopped. No to the staples, lol.
Im here because we may need to learn this if a war breaks out and there are no dr,s to be found it could never hurt to know
If you’ve never had to get staples removed while awake, I highly recommend avoiding it
Stitches take longer to apply but allow wounds to heal faster. Staples do the opposite.
trust me, i got this, i am a carpenter. i saw it on youtube
The right way would be good
Surgical Technologist/First Assist.... Thank you. Nice video. Keep it up!

I had 13 staples above and to the right of my belly button because the handlebar on my dirtbike went through me and tore all the layers of my right ab “laceration of the abdominal wall”
Those hurt alot coming out from experience. Had to get mine taken out like 5 days early due to infection from them. Body was rejecting them.
My mom had surgery on her shoulder when I was young and the staples really freaked me out. It was just something I never heard of and to a young kid staples belong in paper not people lol
I got staples on my chin when i was a kid, ill never forget blacking out from pain
Good job 👍🏻
I got 5 staples in the back of my head, and the pain was excruciating. They couldn't put any lidocaine, so I got the full effect of pain. I could feel my heartbeat at the laceration site for a few minutes after the doctor was done. The doctor lied to me too. He asked me if I ever got stung by a bee. I said yes. He said it feels just like a bee sting. I know the people in the emergency room could hear me swearing and dropping F-Bombs from my room, and the door was closed. After the doctor was done, I asked what kind of bees he was getting stung by because that shit was horrible. But when they took them out later, I didn't feel a thing.
I had staples on my head when I was 21, it is not fun because you have to get them taken out when your head is more healed up 😅😅
I had about 40 or more staples on my left arm and like 20-30 in my left hip when the wounds started healing and they took them out it was annoying 😂
I had staples in my knee when i was in middle school after a knee surgery, it felt weird getting them taken out
I had to get stitches and the doctor used one of these. He gave me freezing with a needle but all he did was poke me with the needle then instintly started stapling. Didn't give any time for the freezing I was like "wtf".
He said GAPING 😂
When I was on the USS Belluea Wood, I hit my head on a hatch frame (it is like a I-Beam but goes in a complete circle or oval) but it gave me a concussion and laceration in my head. I received 17 staples to close that wound it is the weirdest sensation feeling the staples scrape your skull.
How deep these metal staples go. This would definitely hurt
The next time I get a papercut I'll bust out the Swingline! Thanks KZread!
Got that done after a back operation
Using the stapler itself to move the skin results in staples that twist and tug- please dont! Not every staple but sometimes
God i hate staples. They leave worse scarring than the actual incision itself.
