Introducing the only open linear stapler with Tri-Staple technology. Our priority to help surgeons improve patient outcomes never wavers. Thats why weve advanced open stapling by giving our GIA stapler Tri-Staple technology.
Innovative Tri-Staple TechnologyTri-Staple Technology introduces progressive staple heights within one stapler cycle, allowing for improved compression, minimized tissue stress, and enhanced hemostasis. This technology fosters optimal healing and consistent staple lines, supporting reliable surgical outcomes and efficient tissue closure, even in variable tissue thicknesses.
Designed for Precision and SafetyWith an integrated cutting blade and an ergonomic anti-slip grip, the GIA Stapler ensures safe, single-stroke cuts and staple formation. Its medical-grade stainless steel and polymer construction guarantees reliability and durability. The device's latex-free, sterile, and CE-marked attributes promote patient safety and meet stringent standards.
Versatility Across Surgical ProceduresThis stapler is suitable for tissue closure and anastomosis in bowel, gastric, thoracic, and pediatric operations. Its compatibility with open and laparoscopic techniques offers adaptability for surgeons. The disposable, single-use design minimizes cross-contamination risks, further enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
FAQ's of Medtronic-Covidien GIA Stapler with Tri-Staple Technology, 60 mm Medium/Thick Cartridge:
Q: How is the Medtronic-Covidien GIA Stapler with Tri-Staple Technology used during surgery?
A: The GIA Stapler is manually operated to simultaneously cut and staple tissue in a single action, ensuring consistent and precise closure. It is primarily applied in open and laparoscopic procedures of the bowel, stomach, thoracic cavity, and in select pediatric cases.
Q: What benefits does Tri-Staple Technology provide over standard staplers?
A: Tri-Staple Technology features progressive staple heights, which accommodate varying tissue thicknesses. This enhances tissue compression, promotes effective hemostasis, and reduces excessive pressure, resulting in optimal healing and reduced tissue trauma.
Q: When should the GIA60 medium/thick (purple) cartridge be used?
A: The medium/thick (purple) cartridge is intended for tissues of medium to thick density, as specified by the manufacturer. It should be selected for cases requiring closure or anastomosis of such tissues, ensuring proper staple formation and tissue adaptation.
Q: Where can this stapler be used in terms of surgical application sites?
A: The stapler is suitable for use in bowel, gastric, thoracic, and pediatric surgeries. Its versatility allows application in both open and laparoscopic procedures across these clinical areas.
Q: What is the process of loading and using the stapler?
A: Insert the compatible GIA60 medium/thick (purple) reload cartridge into the stapler handle. After positioning on the target tissue, squeeze the ergonomic handle to activate simultaneous cutting and stapling. The integrated blade ensures a clean, single-stroke cut.
Q: Is the Medtronic-Covidien GIA Stapler reusable?
A: No, this stapler is designed as a single-use, disposable instrument to maximize sterility and minimize infection risks. It should be properly discarded after each procedure.
Q: What are the storage requirements and shelf life for this stapler?
A: Store the stapler in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refer to the product packaging for specific shelf life details, typically ranging from 3 to 5 years.
