Surgical Stapling
Surgical Stapling
Our surgical stapling portfolio addresses the challenges of tissue thickness, tissue movement during firing, staple line security, and tissue tension with the objective of providing greater stapling precision in surgery.

FEATURED PRODUCTS
ECHELON CIRCULAR Powered Stapler
Reduced leaks at the staple line without compromising perfusion.1,2* The ECHELON CIRCULAR Powered Stapler had an 85% reduction in anastomotic leak rates compared with manual circular staplers (1.7% vs. 11.8%, p=0.02).3**
FEATURED PRODUCTS
ECHELON CONTOUR Curved Cutter
The ECHELON CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter with 3D stapling technology is designed to evenly distribute compression throughout the staple line, potentially limiting leak pathways.4,5^
rgb(243,6,23)
The ECHELON CIRCULAR Powered Stapler reduced leaks by 61% at the staple line compared to the Medtronic DST SeriesTM EEATM Stapler.1*
33%
Gripping Surface Technology provided gentler handling with a 33% reduction in compressive forces on tissue.6#
37%
Push button firing increased stability with 37% less distal tip movement during firing.7##
3D
Designed with offset closure of the staple legs, 3D Stapling Technology evenly distributed compression to reduce potential leak paths.
