A distinct advantage that staples have over sutures is their quick placement--stapling is approximately three to four times faster than suturing. Staples are also associated with a lower risk of infection and tissue reaction than sutures.

What function do immovable joints in the skull?
They are not joints - they are called 'Sutures'. (soo-chers) In the unborn infant, the sutures are loose and can move around a bit. This helps the infant's head exit the mother's body when it is born. The loose sutures also allow for the baby's head to grow. When the skull is as big as it is going to get, the sutures start growing a little more bone, and they attach to each other solidly. In adulthood, the sutures have no use - they are simply left over from childhood.
