Energy
HARMONIC™ 1100 Shears
When operating in tight spaces or near vital structures, precision is essential. HARMONIC™ stands unrivaled as the undisputed ultrasonic leader and proven to deliver minimal thermal impact on tissue1,2A with precise energy delivery.3,4 HARMONIC™ 1100 Shears, our most advanced ultrasonic device, delivers secure vessel sealing up to and including 7mm5-7, faster transection speeds, lower maximum blade temperatures, and more precise tissue dissection.8-12B
Staplers
ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Vascular Stapler
In thoracic surgery, tight spaces can limit visibility, control, and access, making it difficult to navigate critical anatomy with confidence. The narrow anvil, increased articulation, and smaller shaft diameter of the ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Vascular Stapler, improved access in VATS procedures, enabling precise placement on fragile pulmonary vessels.1A
Staplers
ECHELON™ 3000 Stapler
The ECHELON™ 3000 Stapler was designed to accommodate each patient's unique anatomy, providing consistency across every staple line. It enables better access1A and more control2B over each transection, making it easier to tailor procedures to your patient's unique needs.

Suture
MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial (poliglecaprone 25) Suture
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of hospital-acquired infection.1 Part of the Ethicon suture portfolio, MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Sutures provide the same handling and performance as traditional MONOCRYL™ (Poliglecaprone 25) Sutures while dependably providing antibacterial protection.2-9
Coated with triclosan, these absorbable sutures were associated with nearly 30% reduction in the risk of SSIs.10,11A Backed by the highest level of clinical evidence,8,12-16H these sutures offer an added layer of protection against the most common pathogens associated with SSIs in an in vitro study.2,4,5BC
