surgical staples or clips Explanation: I'd say you're right. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_staple Surgical staples are specialized staples used in surgery in place of sutures to close skin wounds, anastamose bowel or portions of lung. A more recent development, from the 1990s, uses clips instead of staples for some applications; this does not require the staple to penetrate. |
