A surgical staple remover apparatus is disclosed. The surgical staple remover apparatus includes a handle located at a rear of the apparatus, a housing having an interior volume and a distal opening, and a removable front end located in the distal opening. The front end comprises an upward sloped jaw element comprising a pair of parallel jaws, a movable anvil arm for pressing against a crown of the staple slated for removal, and a movable dual hook arm including a dual hook element. The staple remover further includes a lever mechanically coupled to the anvil arm and the dual hook arm, wherein moving the lever closer to the handle results in the anvil arm and the dual hook arm moving towards the jaw element, thereby deforming the surgical staple and the dual hook arm retracting the deformed surgical staple under the strip element and held in place by same.
