Why would you use staples rather than stitches in an open wound?

Much easier and quicker to use and remove staples than sutures (stitches), though sutures are preferred for smaller wounds or incisions.

I think it’s case by case. If you have a very large open wound or incision and need it closed asap, staples. Otherwise, stitches.
