I was 5 years old when I got staples in the back of my head. That was hell on Earth. I’m 27 now, but staples in the back of the head is something you never forget.
I got 13 on the top of my melon. I was 39 at the time. No numbing of any sort. I got a tetanus shot in one arm whilst the second lil minion proceeded to ‘chunk chunk chunk’ staples into my head without any warning. Brutal. It didn’t close up very well either. I’ve got a pretty nice scar there
I had staples on the front of my head, my forehead to be exact. Wanna know why? My cousin hit me in the head, albeit was an accident, with a bat. She wanted to show me how she could hit a rock. Nailed me right in the head. Luckily nothing broke but the skin
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.
@@brunnrunn I was surprised to hear from them, that I did a very good job. They said suturing with thread and needle would have been better. 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.
I had about 40 something staples from bellybutton to my pubic hair line (about 20 something for each surgery). Still haven’t forgotten the relief I felt when they were cut. It even felt like I could breath better
Aye..... as a recipient of 29 staples after ORIF shattered knee cap.... always bring the skin together, no matter width. My scar has bulging spots here n there due to most likely not bringing skin together flush.
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.
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 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.
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! ❤️🖖🏼
@@hanafuda4248Most likely if the wound is bleeding And you don't have time to properly stitch the wound So the fastest way to stop the bleeding is to staple it. Just so then you have enough time to go to the hospital.
@@rexmgaming362 So, like, if there is a gash in an area where u can't wrap it with something to pull the skin together that way. Like where would u apply staples if my assumption is correct?
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.
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!
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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
While true I believe staples arnt fit for every situation. Got stitches in my fingers. I'm not sure a staples would have been able to maneuver around the curves in my fingers the way stitches could.
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.
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!
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 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 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.
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.
Why do you think there's only one size for paper staplers? Needs extra material to retain better grip. Otherwise, they could make twice as many staples at half the width.... Better to let the staple action perforn the joining action/force/alignment
When i split my leg open at 13 they tried to staple it shut, apparently i told them if they came at me with a stapler instead of a needle they would regret it, i had lost a lot of blood so dont remember much but thats what step dad told me
You can buy them online, not to hard to find. A lot of surgical stuff and second dental stuff you can find at flea markets. They’re good for models, cleaning guns and any meticulous type shtuff
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 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”
I was 5 years old when I got staples in the back of my head. That was hell on Earth. I’m 27 now, but staples in the back of the head is something you never forget.
When I was six I busted my head and they were gonna staple it, but they had run out of staples 😂😂
I got stitches instead

The stripe on top is as a reference width for direct sticking without your second hand to assist in closure.

When is the stapler a preferred option?
When you are forced to close a wound fast
Why would you need to close the wound fast? To stop bleeding?

Dang this brings back memories not good ones they hurt when they got pulled out
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?
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!
Love your videos ❤. Can you please make a video of how to take the staples out , Once area has healed?
Need to get me one of these for my first aid kit.
When i was in the burn unit thats how they had most my leg held together, ill never forget that
Surgical Technologist/First Assist.... Thank you. Nice video. Keep it up!
Ohhh boy this just reminded me when I had almost 200 staples removed after my incision healed from my hip surgery
Super glue and duck tape is my go to.
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’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!

Larger looks more comfortable to the patient both in application and alleviating discomfort during the healing process.
