ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Starling Surgical's QuickStitch is a disposable piece of hardware that incorporates sutures into a stapler-like mechanism to let surgeons quickly place stitches with mechanically guaranteed consistency. The resulting closure could entail less scarring and less postoperative pain for patients as well as reduce physician fatigue.
Surgical staplers, invented in 1908 and adopted globally in the 1960s, are used to close wounds in lieu of manual sutures in order to spare a surgeon time and fatigue at the end of an operation.
