Overview

Reinforcement is preloaded.
Confidence is built in.

More than 2 million firings — and counting([FOOTNOTE=Based on analysis of internal Cognos monitoring from 2014 through April 2020. May 2, 2020.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

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 gastrectomies([FOOTNOTE=El Moussaoui I, Limbga A, Mehdi A. Staple line reinforcement during sleeve gastrectomy with a new type of reinforced stapler. Minerva Chir. 2018;73(2):127–132.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),††,‡‡
  • Significantly reduce the likelihood of air leaks in pulmonary lobectomies([FOOTNOTE=Deguchi H, Tomoyasu M, Shigeeda W, Kaneko Y, Kanno H, Saito H.

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 properties([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report #RE00218740, Signia™ stapling adaptive firing technology data calculations and references.

A Surgeon's Experience

A surgeon tells General Surgery News why he uses Tri-Staple™ reinforced reloads in his bariatric procedures.

TRI-STAPLE™ TECHNOLOGY

Stapling made smarter

Tri-Staple™ technology reloads are designed to work in harmony with the natural properties of tissue before, during, and after stapling.

  • ‡Results based on n of 125 OR nurses and 125 surgeons by ORC International. Nov. 9, 2011.

  • §In-vitro tensile strength compared to Seamguard™* at days 7 and 14.

  • ΩBench test results may not necessarily be indicative of clinical performance.
