Disposable Skin Staple Remover, Sterilised, for skin Wound Suture Skin staple Remover is a specialized tool doctors use to take out surgical staples. Begin at one end of the healed incision. Clean the wound by using saline, an antiseptic like alcohol or sterile to remove any debris or dried matter from the wound. Slide the lower part of a staple remover under the middle of the staple. Squeeze the handles of the staple remover until they are completely closed, causing the staple ends to pull out of the incision. Take out the staple by releasing the pressure on the handles. When the staples are removed, drop them into a disposable container or bag. Pull out the medical staple in the same direction it went in, to avoid tearing your skin. You might feel a slight pinch, sting or tugging sensation. This is normal. Use the staple remover to remove all the other staples. Cleanse the wound with antiseptic again. Apply a dry dressing or bandage if needed.
