Staples are available in two popular forms: mechanical compression and shape memory type staples. Compression staples are used for internal fixation devices that are used for helping keep two planes of bone together for bone fixation and arthrodesis procedures. Compression staples are used for internal fixation and designed to apply static or dynamic compression to two planar surfaces of bone. Shape memory staples consist only of those staples made from nitinol materials that change their shape when they reach a transition temperature that is higher than their storage temperature.

In 2012, the European staple fixation market exceeded €3 million, an increase over the previous year. The mechanical compression staple market is expected to decline over the forecast period. In contrast, the shape memory staple market is expected to grow. Overall, the total staple fixation market growth in Europe is expected to be steady for the next several years.
