Silly Question about the staples

[mjb123 3]

This may seem like a silly question, but I'm wondering if the staples dissolve or if they are in us for good??? Anyone???

for good

[Rootman 1,101]

They're made of titanium and will more than likely "outlive" you

Will the staples interfere with an MRI, should you need one later in life?

[Foxbins 625]

You can have an MRI with titanium staples.

Wait, will the staples set off metal detectors?

[Foxbins 625]

No, the staples won't set off a metal detector, at least not the ones at airports.

I have a big titanium plate holding my neck together and haven't set off any alarms yet so these staples shouldn't either.

They're in you for good. But, your stomach will eventually cover them up! At least that's what I was told/read.
