Looking at Amazon.com, for $1500-$4000 or so instead of $10 for a
single-use stapler they could have had titanium;* so I'm feeling a
bit like the poor relation anyway. ;-)

Remarkable what's for sale on Amazon...

*Oh, all right, I strongly suspect the titanium ones are meant to be
left inside forever.  I can just see the coming clash between
cyborg-medicine and airport security, with fliers having to carry
around reams of bumf documenting the serial number and provenance of
every non-OEM bit inside them; and real-time updating of all the
dampware.  Arrgghhh, my pelvis just crashed!
