Endo GIA™ Black Reload with Tri-Staple™ Technology

No single stapler can address the wide range of tissue management issues surgeons face on a daily basis. That's why we have developed a portfolio of stapling solutions designed to meet specific needs and challenges. Each reload incorporates unique and proprietary features that deliver performance conventional staplers simply can’t match.

All of our stapling reloads incorporate our proprietary Tri-Staple™ technology. With its unique design elements like a stronger fixed anvil, stepped cartridge face and staggered staple heights, Tri-Staple™ technology delivers graduated compression that:

• Reduces stress on tissue during clamping and compression([FOOTNOTE=When compared with ECHELON FLEX™* green reloads as part of a September 2, 2011 analysis comparing different stapler designs and their performance and impact on tissues under compression using two-dimensional finite element analysis (data on file).],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Allows greater perfusion into the staple line([FOOTNOTE=Analysis of Staple Line Vascularity Using MicroCT between Covidien 60 mm AVM Tan reload and Ethicon 60 mm 2.5 mm White reload dated April 27, 2015. Covidien Engineering Report No: 2128 002 2.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Provides superior performance in variable tissue([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #PCG-001, Tyvek pull-apart test comparing ECHELON™* and Tri-Staple™ technology (data on file at Medtronic).
