It depends on the size & how deep the laceration is. They do have what is called liquid adhesive or butterfly bandages. Staples can be used but always the best choice.

It's better to have staples in ur head than an open wound that could possibly get infected.

this is a common practice in emergency medicine. it is faster than stitches and actually promotes healing faster, once the wound is fused (healed) the staples are easily removed. the staples are not your office type staples, these are stainless steel which does not rust and cause infections.

The staples shouldn't fall out, even by using fact the swelling comes down, the way they are clamped in could shop them in place. you're able to start to observe much less of a area of interest between the floor and the staple (annoying to describe sorry) yet that's primary. do not difficulty :)

Typically on a wound on the scalp that do staple them shut. On the face they use dermabond.

Yes but with a surgical staple - not the one on your desk

Staple are a valid means of securing certain types of wounds.
They do not use a desk stapler, these are medical devices.

This is the quickest, least traumatic way of closing a head laceration for a child. Don't have to hold them down very long so less stress on the child. You should have let them do it. The method they offered you was your child's best option.
