Every year millions of
lacerations and incisions taken place and require an effective methodology to manage the
wound for a better life. The primary causes include mechanical
trauma and
surgical procedures. The rapid healing of the
wound is critical to prevent further
infection and reduction
pain etc. Current options comprise of
sutures,
staplers, surgical strips and
glues, again the intervention depends on the type of
wound and the surgeon preference. The current
wound closure techniques pose various potent limitations and confronting the problems to create a desired
wound closure technique is necessary for faster and effective wound healing management. The
surgical staplers are fast and easy to use
wound closure devices, which approximates the edges of the
wounds together by staples. The staples are mostly made up of metals like
titanium and
stainless steel. By modifying the existing stapling method using biodegradable staples that are expected to have good mechanical properties, not require removal procedure, minimized
scarring and an overall acceleration in wound healing with minimal complications. Present, the paper focuses on the novel hypothesis on natural fiber reinforced biodegradable
polymer staples as
wound enclosures with high strength and degradability.
