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
