Overview

Transforming surgical stapling single-handedly

Tissue varies but your staple lines shouldn’t. That's why the Signia™ stapling system delivers consistent staple lines([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #R2146-151-0, Powered stapling firing speed DOE analysis and ASA parameters. 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #R2146-173-0, ASA verification testing with slow speed force limit evaluation. 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report #RE00218740, Signia™ stapling adaptive firing technology data calculations and references. Aug. 7, 2019. ],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) — across variable tissue — and the benefits they bring to patients.

The Signia™ system gives you the precision of fully powered rotation, articulation, and firing([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report #R0033554, iDrive™ Ultra stapler PCR summary report. November 2012],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) with one hand.([FOOTNOTE=Drew S, Tarek T, Donald P.

Features

  • Delivers consistent staple lines1,2,3
  • Provides precision and maneuverability with fully powered articulation, rotation, and clamping4
  • Displays real-time feedback on an easy-to-understand LED screen([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00024826, Signia™ stapling system summative usability report, Rev A. January 2016.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
  • Frees your other hand to focus on the surgical site6
  • Feels well-balanced in your hand during use([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report #R2146-179-0, Signia™ stapler center of mass. 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

The Signia™ stapler is compatible with our existing reload portfolio featuring the proven performance of Tri-Staple™ technology.

Technology

The Signia™ stapler adapts to tissue variability1,2 and lets you know — before you fire — with visual and audible feedback from the handle. This is made possible by Adaptive Firing™ technology and real-time feedback.1,2,([FOOTNOTE=Signia™ stapler [user manual]. Mansfield, MA: Medtronic; 2016.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

When you clamp on tissue, the Signia™ stapler:

  • Displays real-time feedback, showing the device is ready to fire8
  • Sets one of three firing speeds based on the tissue variability1,2
  • Adjusts firing speed based on tissue variability and thickness1,2,6

Acknowledging a clinical challenge

Appropriate selection of the cartridge for the tissue to be divided is essential in the clinical setting, but it’s not always easy or possible to determine the thickness of the tissue intraoperatively.([FOOTNOTE=Hasegawa S, Nakayama S, Hida K, Kawada K, Sakai Y. Effect of Tri-Staple™ technology and slow firing on secure stapling using an endoscopic linear stapler. Dig Surg. 2015;32:353–360.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

The Signia™ system’s continuous clamp force measurements — displayed on the handle in real time during a procedure — give you information about stapling conditions. Higher clamp force measurements may indicate thicker tissues and more challenging tissue applications.1,2

The Signia™ system adapts to these changing surgical conditions, by appropriately adjusting firing speed based on force measurements to optimise staple formation1,2 so you get more consistent staple lines.2,6
