About this Device
Innovation never stops. While our reload colors are the same, the ever-evolving technology behind them has broadened the range of tissue thickness for each reload colorA—giving surgeons more flexibility to meet their needs in the OR. And overlapping tissue thickness ranges provide more confidence that the reload a surgeon selects will handle the tissue thickness.

Procedures
LAR, Colectomy, Lobectomy, Wedge Resection, Segmentectomy, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, Revisions
Optimizing Reload Selection
Focusing on tissue thickness instead of reload color gives surgeons flexibility to better match the unique tissue of the patient and procedure. GST Reloads offer choices that can match tissue thickness and each surgeon’s preference.B
- For a drier staple line, surgeons can “step down” and select a reload with a tighter closed staple height that is still within the range of the intended tissue thickness.
Verifying Tissue Thickness Range
Whether tissue thickness is at the top or bottom of a GST Reload color’s range, surgeons will get reliable staple formation.1 How did we verify these ranges?
- Benchtop testing in a variety of gastric tissue thicknesses to attain good staple formation
- 700+ firings across the 45mm and 60mm devices
