Endo GIA™ Radial Reload with Tri-Staple™ Technology

With the thickest indicated tissue range for any stapler on the market (2.25 mm – 3.00 mm)¹, the Endo GIA™ radial reload delivers optimal performance, even in challenging cases.

In colorectal procedures, the Endo GIA™ radial reload is setting new standards for access, maneuverability and staple line security in LAR procedures. It may provide surgeons uncompromised access and visibility deep in the pelvis. 

For thoracic procedures, the unique design and 360 degree rotation provides multiple angles and enhances access in the chest cavity for both open and VATS procedures compared to linear reloads. The Endo GIA™ radial reload may produce less stress during compression and clamping([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #PCG-007 rev 1, When compared to Echelon Flex™* green reloads as part of an analysis comparing different stapler designs and their performance and impact on tissues under compression using two-dimensional finite element analysis.
