What Users Are Saying
A progression towards that perfect stapler that never has any bleeding, that never has any tissue line failure, that never has a leak.
The stapler’s actually able to adapt to the tissue resistance and allow it to change speed.
During firings with the GST reload, I can appreciate the dynamic nature of the firing and how the motor slows down for thicker tissue. It gives me confidence.
You’re prepared, but is your stapler?
The ECHELON™+ Stapler with GST Reloads allows you to operate with the variables that come with bariatric surgery in mind.
The following claims are based on comparisons to the Signia™ Stapler with Tri-Staple™ Reloads
Features
Dynamic Firing Motor
Slows as it engages thick tissue to enhance audible feedback and compression.
Features
ECHELON™+ Anvil
Designed with increased tissue capture to create symmetrical staples for significantly fewer leaks at the staple line.1
Features
ECHELON™ Gripping Surface Technology Reloads
Adds more support while firing so you can confidently produce better staples and reduce tissue movement.10
The following claims are based on comparisons to the Signia™ Stapler with Tri-Staple™ Reloads

- In benchtop testing in porcine tissue, the ECHELON™ GST System (PSEE60A, GST60G) had less mean longitudinal change in 3.3mm thick tissue, 0.94 vs. 3.65, compared to the Signia™ Stapling System (SIGPHANDLE, EGIA60AMT), p-value < 0.05. Based on additional testing, ECHELON+ Stapler with GST Reloads showed less average tissue slippage and was statistically concluded to have at most 0.764mm more tissue slippage than the ECHELON FLEX(tm) GST System (p=0.05) (018989-201012)
