Skin Staplers & Tackers
Surgical staplers and tackers close skin and fix mesh quickly and consistently, as an alternative to suturing. Dolphin Staplers offers a disposable skin stapler, a reusable skin stapler, a matching staple remover and a mesh tacker for laparoscopic and open hernia repair.
Skin staplers
Skin staplers place stainless-steel staples to approximate skin edges rapidly and consistently, and are a time-saving alternative to skin suturing across a wide variety of procedures. Dolphin offers Dermamate, a disposable single-use skin stapler, and Duramate, a reusable skin stapler, with a matching staple remover for staple removal after healing.
Mesh tackers
Tacksure is a mesh tacker used to fix hernia mesh to the abdominal wall in open and laparoscopic repair, deploying tacks as an alternative or complement to suture fixation. Choice of fixation method rests with the operating surgeon.
