Surgical Staple Remover

Today I ran some errands.  Well, technically, the girls biked while I walked, as I can't drive for six months...

I blogged yesterday about the "fancy" surgical staple remover...

I brought it home for my daughters to practice with (not on my scalp, but an old deflated kickball)...

Actually, I was gonna let the 12-yo future surgeon practice on one of mine, but Mama said "NO!" [shrug]

Anyway, I looked at it, and it's got 3M etched on the handle and a quick Google finds...


Yup, that's the thing!

I have to wonder if the hospital will charge me (Blue Cross, really) the list price of $71.48 or the Amazon price of $6.50

And they throw them away after each patient to avoid contamination.  Which is a Good Thing I suppose, but...
