A disposable skin stapler (Proximate; Ethicon) was compared with conventional nylon sutures in respect of time taken for wound closure, cosmetic result and ease of application and removal. It was found that a time saving of 80% is possible with the stapling device, and that the cosmetic result with staples is as good as if not better than that with nylon sutures. A certain amount of experience and practice facilitates the use of the stapler.
将一种一次性皮肤缝合器（Proximate；爱惜康公司）与传统尼龙缝线在伤口闭合所需时间、美容效果以及应用和拆除的难易程度方面进行了比较。结果发现，使用缝合器可节省80%的时间，而且使用缝合器的美容效果即便不比尼龙缝线更好，也与尼龙缝线一样好。一定的经验和练习有助于使用该缝合器。
