Ethicon Colorectal Solutions
We continuously invest in innovation to address the key challenges that impact colorectal case outcomes. Our innovative products are designed to support surgeons in colorectal procedures.
Reducing Anastomotic Leaks
Anastomotic leaks still occur in up to 8.6% of cases.1* We are partnering with surgeons on multiple fronts to help reduce this devastating surgical complication.
Colorectal Professional Education Courses
The Johnson & Johnson Institute offers comprehensive Colorectal specialty learning opportunities on the safe and efficacious usage of Ethicon devices, surgical techniques and measures to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes. These educational experiences include in-person courses, digital learning and hands-on practice.
Partnering to Optimize Colorectal Cancer Screening
JJMDC has entered into a partnership with the patient association Digestive Cancers Europe (DiCE) aimed at understanding what the main barriers are, optimizing colorectal cancer screening in selected countries in Europe, and identifying how the barriers can be removed, by developing an action plan for disseminating policy solutions.

# Advancing staple line security with fewer leakage pathways and less malformed staples. Fewer leakage pathways: benchtop testing in porcine tissue ≤ 30mmHg (26mmHG average pressure experienced during typical leak test), comparing Ethicon ECHELON+ Stapler PSEE60A with GST Reloads GST60B to Medtronic Signia™ and Endo GIA™ Staplers with Tri‐Staple™ Reloads EGIA60AMT. Cumulative number of leaked tests (0/30), (7/30) & (9/30) respectively, n=30, p < 0.05. Fewer malformed staples: benchtop testing in 3.3mm and 4.0mm porcine tissue comparing malformed staples between ECHELON+ Stapler with GST Reloads (GST60B,GST60T) to Medtronic Signia™ Stapler with Tri‐Staple™ Reloads (EGIA60AMT, EGIA60AXT) and Endo GIA™ with Tri‐Staple™ Reloads (EGIA60AMT, EGIA60AXT). Percentage malformed results: 1.14% vs 4.28%, p < 0.05.
