Class Description:
In the vanilla world, medical (also known as surgical) staples are used as an alternative to sutures, in order to close wounds. Or perhaps, you’ve seen go-go dancers get dollar bills stapled to them in the night club. In the kinky world, they are a wonderful and unique aspect of edge and medical play, allowing for controlled pain and striking visual impact. It deliciously blends fear and fascination, and can incorporate artistry and intensity into your scenes. If you find any of this intriguing, then this class is for you!
This is a beginner-friendly class for those who are interested in playing with medical staples. In this class you will learn about:
- Medical staples safety
- Medical staples supplies
- Negotiation
- Insertion and removal of staples
- Skin preparation and basic wound care
Two beginner-friendly staple insertion techniques will be demonstrated - basic and skin ruching (skin is gathered and pinched under the staple). Practice skin will be available to those who want to try out the stapler and remover. If you want to practice on yourself or another person, there will be time for that, but please acknowledge these are blood-bonded tools and cannot be reused on multiple people. Experienced sharps players should bring all necessary sharps supplies. Beginner staple kits that include everything you need for the class, will be available for sale.
Staple Kits:
You're not required to purchase a kit to participate. You will have the opportunity to handle a medical stapler and remover with practice (fake) skin. If you would like to try staples on yourself, or another person, you will need to have supplies. Staple kits can be pre-ordered at checkout. Two kits are available for purchase that include the following items:
Option 1. Beginner Staple Kit ($24) - sterile medical stapler, sterile staple remover, sterile gauze, small stainless steel tray, small sharps container, bio waste bags, rubbing alcohol, hibiclens, bandages, antibiotic ointment, surface cleaning wipes, access to chux and gloves
Option 2. Stapler + remover ($13) - sterile medical stapler, sterile staple remover, access to chux and gloves
