“...there are a lot of injuries among laundry and housekeeping personnel, due to needles and other contaminated sharp objects left in soiled goods.” Dionne Williams
Skin Staple Extractor
The use of skin staples is preferable to the use of suturing.  It greatly reduces the risk of a sharps injury to the physician and colleagues.  The safe way of removing staples is with an extractor that removes the staple without the clinician's hand being at the wound site.
