Features & Benefits
With the greatest articulation span and widest jaw aperture among leading handheld staplers, the ECHELON 3000 Stapler can enable better access and more control so surgeons can take on even the most challenging situations and stick to the preoperative plan1,2.

Better access
With a 27% greater articulation span and a shorter articulation joint length3, the ECHELON 3000 gives you the range of motion needed when addressing challenging anatomy.

Easier placement
More easily place the stapler jaws on thick or challenging tissue with a 39% greater jaw aperture4.

More control
One-handed, powered articulation with the ability to set the jaws to any point within the articulation span gives you more control when you need it most2.
Real World Evidence: Design differences matter when it comes to performance and results. Since 2017, the use of ECHELON™ Powered Staplers has an association with reduced clinical complications, reduced hospital cost, & improved eciency8.
