Consistent performance1,2,4

Firing Speed

By controlling the firing speed of a stapler in different tissue properties it is possible to deliver, with more consistency, properly formed B-shaped staples with stronger functional closure.1,2,4,†,‡‡

Variable Tissue vs Firing Speed

The Signia™ stapling system's sensing technology is able to distinguish between average and thicker, more challenging tissue.1,3,4,†

As Signia™ fires, it uses force-sensing technology to adjust firing speeds to optimise staple formation when stapling in  variable tissue thicknesses.1,3,†

Manual staplers don’t do that. Neither do fixed-speed powered staplers. It’s what makes the Signia™ stapler smart.2,4

Staple Formation

The result is a more secure staple formation enabling you to operate with greater consistency.3,5,†

In fact, the Signia™ stapler delivers three-times fewer malformed staples, and two-times less under crimp and overall 50% stronger staple lines.2,5,6,†,‡

What consistent performance provides:

  • Force-sensing technology to optimize staple lines.1,3,†
  • Adaptive Firing™ technology which adapts to tissue thickness.
  • Adaptive Firing™ technology automatically adjusts speed to improve staple formation when forces increase  in challenging applications.1,3,†
