Tissue thickness varies – even within a single patient's GI tract. That's why our circular staplers enable you to adjust staple height to accommodate tissue that's between 1.0mm and 2.5mm thick. Our new intraluminal stapler has a Tissue Compression Indicator, which measures compressed tissue thickness at specific positions within a gap setting scale.

When applied to tissue, these staplers provide the necessary compression to create the anastomosis. During firing, the controlled tissue compression and adjustable-height staples allow for uniform staple formation at the specific staple height. Afterwards, the formed staples continue to deliver the proper compression to provide a leak-free anastomosis and good hemostasis to facilitate healing.

All Ethicon Endo-Surgery Intraluminal Staplers are:

• Adjustable – Allows you to control the amount of compression applied to tissue depending on the clinical situation
• Flexible – No need to select a device with a specific closed staple height in advance. The 5.5mm open staple length is the longest commercially available* and accommodates the widest range of compressed tissue thickness.*
  
• Reliable – Patented cutting washer delivers audible and tactile feedback as an indication that the firing sequence is complete
• Easy to use – large tissue compression scale designed for visibility and ease of use
• Cost Effective – Reduce inventory carrying costs with 50% fewer SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) than the leading competitor.

Ethicon Endo-Surgery Circular Staplers are designed for open and endoscopic procedures and are available in both curved and straight shafts in multiple diameters. The Curved Intraluminal and Straight Intraluminal Staplers are designed to improve access and visibility by attaching the tissue to the anvil shaft away from the main body of the instrument. This instrument has been designed to facilitate insertion, operation, and removal.

Our Endoscopic Curved Intraluminal Stapler is a sealed-shaft, low-reflective circular stapler with a Tissue Compression Indicator with graduated markings. These indicate the approximate compressed tissue thickness at specific positions within the gap setting scale. With a longer sealed shaft, low profile anvil, and low reflective surfaces, it maintains pneumoperitoneum, improved access, and visibility for minimally invasive procedures.

Features of our intraluminal staplers include:

• Controlled Tissue Compression – allows you to control the amount of compression applied to tissue depending on the clinical situation
• Adjustable Height Staples – accommodate compressed tissue thickness from 1.0mm to 2.5mm. No other circular stapler is indicated for a wider range*
• Large Tissue Compression Scale designed for visibility and ease of use
• 5.5mm open-leg staple length allows for proper staple formation in thick tissue
• Available in four sizes – proper matching to diameter of the lumen
• Patented cutting washer delivers audible and tactile feedback as an indication that the firing sequence is complete
• Designed for easy insertion, operation, and removal
• Ergonomic design – non-slip grip and reduced grip span provides increased comfort and control

Procedure applications are for end-to-end, end-to-side, and side-to-side anastomosis.
