Explanation

A stapling device in medicine is a tool used during surgery. It's similar to a regular stapler you might use for paper, but it's designed to close wounds or connect pieces of tissue inside the body. These medical staplers are often used instead of stitches because they can be faster and more precise. They're commonly used in surgeries like those on the lungs, stomach, or bowel.
