Skin Staple Remover

What the Skin Staple Remover Is

The Dolphin Skin Staple Remover is a purpose-built surgical instrument for lifting and removing skin staples once a wound has healed sufficiently for closure hardware to be taken out. Supplied sterile and ready to use, it is intended to make staple removal straightforward for the clinical team. While it is designed to complement the Dolphin Skin Stapler, it is compatible with most leading brands of skin staplers, giving facilities flexibility across their existing inventory.

Composition and Construction

The remover is made from 100% pure stainless steel, a material selected for its strength and suitability for surgical instruments. The working tip is shaped to engage the crown of a staple and reform it for controlled release from the tissue. The design is intended to reduce the likelihood of pins breaking during removal, supporting a clean, predictable action.

Handling Characteristics

An ergonomic form factor is intended to make the remover easy to hold and operate. The instrument geometry is designed to provide the clinician with a clear view of the operating site while working, so staples can be located and addressed without obscuring the surrounding wound. These handling features aim to keep the removal procedure efficient and comfortable to perform.

Use and Reprocessing

The Skin Staple Remover can be used as a disposable, single-use instrument. It can also be re-used after ensuring effective, validated sterilization in accordance with the facility’s reprocessing protocols. This dual approach lets institutions choose the workflow that best fits their sterility policies and case requirements.
