Therapeutic Indications

The 35R Mechanical Stapler is used for closing surgical and traumatic wounds in small and large animals. Its main indications include the suturing of linear skin wounds after routine surgical procedures such as sterilizations, abdominal operations, cesareans, removal of masses and orthopedic procedures that do not require closure of deep sublayers. It is also indicated for the rapid management of accidental wounds, lacerations and cuts of various kinds, especially when it is necessary to optimize operating times to reduce the stress to which the anesthetized animal is subjected. The tool is recommended in veterinary practice for pets, livestock, equines and exotic species, facilitating wound management in veterinary emergency situations, during group sterilization campaigns or in first aid scenarios. In addition, the 35R Mechanical Stapler can be considered an integral part of surgical protocols that provide for the need for a rapid return to normality for the animal, minimizing the risks of wound contamination and accelerating the time for post-operative control.

Composition

The 35R Mechanical Stapler is made up of a structure in high-strength medical plastic material, designed to withstand the mechanical stresses typical of veterinary surgical environments. The internal mechanism is made of surgical grade stainless steel, which ensures effectiveness and safety throughout the suturing process and significantly reduces the risk of rust or heavy metal contamination. The needles and stitches are made of biocompatible stainless steel, specifically designed to interact with animal tissues without causing adverse reactions, promoting rapid and complication-free healing. Each instrument is sterilely packaged using advanced sterilization processes and subjected to rigorous quality controls to ensure the total absence of contaminating particles or impurities during use. The handle, with non-slip surfaces, integrates a progressive release mechanism that allows constant control over the depth and position of the stitches, adapting to the different types of tissue and the specific needs of each veterinary surgery.

Contraindications

The use of the 35R Mechanical Stapler is contraindicated in cases where the wound has an irregular profile, insufficient skin margins or extensive loss of soft tissue requiring complex plastic surgery rather than a simple linear closure. Do not use on significantly contaminated or infected wounds, where the application of staples could trap pathogens and complicate the healing process. Not recommended for deep tissue suturing, high tension wounds, anatomical areas with wide mobility or where there may be a high risk of skin breakdown. Do not use in animals that are particularly sensitive to the metal of the needles or in the presence of documented allergies to the materials used to make up the instrument. Disposable device: never reuse the device on different animals to avoid transmission of infectious agents or cross-contamination of wounds. Furthermore, the 35R Mechanical Stapler must not be used in animals with coagulation defects or with conditions that increase the risk of post-operative bleeding.

Safety of the drug for the species

The 35R Mechanical Stapler is designed to guarantee maximum safety for the recipient animals, reducing exposure times to potential intra-operative contamination and facilitating accurate wound closure. The staples produced are rounded at the ends to limit trauma to the surrounding tissues and promote rapid recovery of skin function. Clinical studies have shown that, when used correctly, it minimizes the risk of complications such as superficial infections, wound dehiscence and local inflammatory reactions. The biocompatibility of the materials limits the formation of granulomas or rejection processes, making the removal of the stitches easy and painless with complete healing. However, a careful assessment of the animal's health status is recommended before proceeding with closure to avoid possible unwanted effects resulting from inappropriate selection of the suturing technique. Safety is further increased by the use of the device on well-vascularized and clean tissues, as this reduces the probability of adverse events and improves long-term post-operative outcomes.

Precautions

Before using the 35R Mechanical Stapler, ensure that the operating field is adequately cleansed, disinfected and bloodless to reduce the risk of infection. During the procedure, be careful not to include subcutaneous tissue, muscle or other deep tissue in the puncture site, so as to avoid tissue necrosis or the formation of blood pools. It is essential to carefully check the position of the stitches for perfect coaptation of the skin flaps and to minimize the formation of extensive scars. Always wear sterile gloves when handling the instrument and ensure that it is removed from the packaging only immediately before use to maintain asepsis. If you are unsure about the depth of the wound or the presence of viable underlying tissue, consult an updated surgical guide or seek assistance from an experienced colleague before proceeding. It is also recommended to carry out a final check on the correct positioning of all stitches before considering the procedure completed and to keep the animal under observation in the hours following surgery to identify any signs of complications early.

Method of administration

The administration of the 35R Mechanical Stapler involves a simple and quick sequence: after preparing the surgical site, position the skin flaps in close adherence and alignment. Bring the head of the instrument close to the edge of the wound and apply firm but controlled pressure on the handle, so as to precisely release a single staple at a time. Continue along the entire length of the wound with sequential passes at constant intervals, checking with each application the stability of the edges and the regularity of the suture. At the end of the procedure, ensure total hemostasis and cleanliness of the operating field. The removal of the stitches must be carried out only when the tissues have completely healed, on average between 7 and 14 days depending on the species, the location of the wound and the speed of healing of the animal. Use a special sterile staple remover to avoid additional trauma during the removal procedure.

Treatment program

The use of the 35R Mechanical Stapler must be adapted to the individual surgical or first aid procedure, with a careful evaluation of the number of stitches needed based on the length and location of the wound. In the case of long wounds, it is suggested to start positioning the stitches from one end and then proceed sequentially to the other end, checking the symmetry and skin margin at each step. During sterilization campaigns or in emergency medicine, the instrument allows a significant increase in efficiency thanks to the reduction of stitch application times and the improvement of the overall quality of the suture. It is advisable to plan a post-operative check-up within 48 hours to check the status of the wound, followed by regular visits until complete healing and removal of the staples. For complex cases or where infection or impaired healing process is suspected, it will be necessary to prolong the clinical checks and evaluate the possible need for additional therapies or revision of the wound.

Target species

The 35R Mechanical Stapler is used in the veterinary surgery of dogs, cats, unconventional pets, livestock, horses and other species of veterinary interest. The variety of applications and the adaptability of the staple system allow effective use on animals of different sizes and species, as long as the anatomical and clinical evaluation allows it. It is an indispensable tool for veterinarians who work both in clinical facilities and in the field, providing a quick and safe solution to the management of surgical or accidental wounds in any context.
