Innovative Tri-Staple TechnologyThe Tri-Staple Technology in these reloads offers three rows of varied staple heights, which provide improved tissue compression and perfusion. This unique design facilitates consistent staple formation, enhancing patient healing and surgical outcomes. Surgeons benefit from increased adaptability across different tissue types, ensuring reliable performance during both laparoscopic and open procedures.
Versatile Compatibility and Color-Coded ConvenienceEndo GIA Reloads are tailored to work seamlessly with Endo GIA Universal and Ultra Staplers. They come in different staple line lengths (30mm, 45mm, 60mm) and are color-coded (purple, blue, tan) for specific tissue indications, aiding quick identification and proper use. This versatility supports a variety of surgical specialties while streamlining reload selection in the operating room.
Safety, Sterility, and Regulatory ApprovalEvery reload is EO-processed for sterility, individually packaged to reduce contamination risk, and latex-free for patient safety. The reloads are intended for single-use and carry both CE Mark and FDA approval, attesting to their global regulatory compliance and quality standard. Proper disposal as hospital biohazard waste is recommended post-procedure.
FAQ's of Medtronic-Covidien Endo GIA Reloads with Tri-Staple Technology:
Q: How are Medtronic-Covidien Endo GIA Reloads with Tri-Staple Technology used during surgery?

Q: What are the benefits of using Tri-Staple Technology in surgical stapling?
A: Tri-Staple Technology provides three different staple heights within one reload, optimizing tissue compression and perfusion. This results in consistent staple formation and may contribute to better post-operative healing and patient outcomes.
Q: How do I know which reload code or size to order?
A: Reload codes (such as EGIA60AMT, EGIA45AMT, EGIA30AMT) indicate the staple line length and tissue type. Refer to the surgical requirements and select the appropriate code based on staple length and tissue thickness needed for your procedure.
Q: What measures ensure the safety and regulatory compliance of these reloads?
A: Endo GIA Reloads are sterile (EO processed), latex-free, CE marked, and FDA approved to meet global standards for safety, sterility, and patient care.
