Are surgical staples similar to ordinary staples? Could surgical staples loosen and puncture internal organs?


Are surgical staples made of metal? What if a surgical staple comes loose inside the body?

Did you smoke? Are yo quitting? Why did you start in the first place?



Answers:
Yes they are similar.
They are of a heavier gauge metal and of course sterile.
They will not puncture an organ if they have been used to staple the skin closed. There are layers of fat , tissue and muscle before you come anywhere near an organ.

Hope that helps!

The only thing similar is the way they work. They can loosen but that is rare. They are made of metal. They will not get loose inside the body.
