Tri-Staple™ Technology

The core technology behind medtronic stapling

Tri-Staple™ technology is a proprietary medtronic stapling innovation which in recent years has transformed endoscopic stapling and is now set to do the same in open procedures.

Tri-Staple™ reloads have some fundamental differences to legacy technology that brings a host of clinical advantages for you and your patients.11-13
