Overview

Reinforcement is preloaded.
Confidence is built in.

More than 2 million firings — and counting3

Tri-Staple™ reinforced reloads are the only endoscopic staplers with preloaded tissue reinforcement for improved ease of use and less waste in the OR.1,†,‡ That convenience comes with the confidence of Tri-Staple™ technology and stronger reinforcement than Seamguard™*.2,§,Ω Plus, it may: 

  • Save an average of 7 to 10 minutes of OR time per procedure1,†,‡
  • Reduce operating time and acute bleeding at the staple line in sleeve gastrectomies4,††,‡‡
  • Significantly reduce the likelihood of air leaks in pulmonary lobectomies5,§§
Intelligence enabled

The Tri-Staple™ 2.0 reinforced reload is compatible with all Medtronic handles. When paired with the smart Signia™ stapler, it delivers:

  • More consistent staple formation by adjusting firing speeds when stapling in across different tissue properties6,7,ΩΩ,†††
  • A reduction in malformed staples by up to 84% in different tissue thicknesses compared to manual and fixed-speed powered staplers6,8,9,ΩΩ
