Common materials for surgical staples include stainless steel and titanium. These are both strong metals that tend to cause few problems for patients in surgical procedures.
But plastic staples are frequently used for people with metal allergies or to reduce scar tissue.
Staples made from plastic or metals don’t dissolve like many sutures, so extra attention must be paid to prevent infection.
Staples made from polylactide-polyglycolide copolymer are designed to be reabsorbed into the body. They are often used in cosmetic surgery because, like plastic staples, they result in less scaring.
