    I’ll use an office stapler to close a limb laceration before going anywhere near an emergency room because America is a fucking capitalist hellscape. So, moderate, I guess.

      If you know anyone who works in nursing or similar, you can some times get medical grade staplers (and other semi specialty things) for free when they “expire” and need to be thrown out.

      I’ve still got two staplers in my medical kit that expired in 2010. I assume it’s the sterile rating that is no longer valid since it’s a stapler. Haven’t needed them yet…
