Real world evidence
Design differences matter when it comes to performance and results. ECHELON™ stapling devices have proven results across varied tissue types, patient populations and countries - in bariatric, thoracic and colorectal procedures. These findings are drawn from fourteen peer-reviewed studies covering over 47,000 patients and 700 hospitals, spanning nine countries and four continents.
Associated with improved clinical and economic outcomes3-5:
- Reduced clinical complications
- Reduced hospital costs
- Improved efficiency
Clinical performance
The ECHELON™ 3000 Stapler delivered the staple line security surgeons have come to expect from ECHELON™ Staplers, with added control and flexibility.
- 83% less tissue slippage during firing6C
- 93% less tip movement during firing on vessels7D
- 99.7% well-formed staples8E
Features & benefits

Greater access
A 27% greater articulation span1F and a shorter articulation jointG help you access challenging anatomy, such as the tight pelvis region.1H For colorectal surgeons, this improved movement also increases the likelihood of transecting the colon in a single firing.9I

Easier placement
A 39% wider jaw aperture can make placing thick tissue in the jaws easier, with potentially less tissue manipulation.1J For thoracic surgeons, this means improved access to the tight thoracic cavity1H and easier placement on thick, variable lung tissue.1,2K

More control
Powered articulation that can be set to any point allows for more precision and one-handed use.2L For bariatric surgeons, this precise control over stapler placement can help in procedures like sleeve gastrectomies, where sleeve shape may impact both weight loss and acid reflux.

ECHELON FLEX™ ENDOPATH™ Staplers
The ECHELON FLEX™ ENDOPATH™ Staplers are manually operated laparoscopic surgical devices designed to simultaneously cut and staple tissue. They are intended for use in transection, resection, and the creation of anastomoses. The shaft features 360-degree rotation in both directions, and an articulation mechanism allows the distal end to pivot, enhancing lateral access to the surgical site.1
ECHELON™+ Stapler with GST Reloads
The ECHELON™+ Stapler is a powered laparoscopic stapler built to adapt seamlessly to diverse tissue types. It advances staple line security to deliver fewer leaks at the staple line and better staple formation, even in challenging conditions.1,2A
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
