placement arrow with the center of the wound.
The handle of the stapler should be held at an
angle of approximately 35° to the surface of the
skin.
3.
The stapler may be held lightly on the skin or
1 to 2mm slightly above the skin surface if
greater distance between the back span and
tissue surface is desired. Slowly depress the
handle and squeeze the trigger fully until an
audible “click” is heard to place and form the
staple. The SurgiMate design and staple sizing
facilitate visibility of the staple placement. The
staple may be “pre-cocked” in any position or
held in a partially closed position by the internal
mechanism of the stapler.
4.
Lift the stapler straight up after each staple
is placed. The stapler releases staples freely
without manual adjustment to disengage the
staples.
5.
Repeat steps 1 through 4, placing the staples
approximately 1/4” apart until the entire wound
has been closed. The skin stapler applies one
staple each time the handle is compressed. The
staple points penetrate the skin and then turn to
form a closed staple, which holds the tissue of
the wound line together.

WARNINGS
• It is not necessary to press the skin stapler
into the skin to get the proper “bite.” The skin
stapler should just “kiss” the skin surface or be
raised slightly above the skin surface.
• The skin stapler should be used for skin closure
only of the epidermis and is not intended for
use within the body or for deeper layers of the
corium (dermis) or other connective tissue.
