Signia™ linear stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology
<p>The Signia™ linear stapler includes Tri-Staple™ and Adaptive Firing™ technology within an intelligence-enabled powered handle featuring an OLED display screen.</p> <p> </p>
Features
Experience the proven performance of Tri-Staple™ technology
The Signia™ linear stapler:
- Delivers consistent staple lines†,3,4
- Provides precision and maneuverability◊,6 with fully powered articulation, rotation, and clamping§,5
- Displays real-time feedback on an LED screen to help you make informed decisions about your staple load selection¶,7
Fewer malformed staples.†,‡,1 Stronger staple lines.†,‡,8
The Signia™ linear stapler is compatible with our existing reload portfolio featuring the proven performance of Tri-Staple™ technology. Compared to the Ethicon™* powered stapler with GST technology, that combination delivers:
- 3x fewer malformed staples†,1
- 50% stronger staple lines†,8
