gastrointestinal surgerycutting

Stapling deep within the pelvis presents clinical challenges. It can be difficult to achieve good staple formation, due to access and varying tissue conditions, and this may result in leaks. ECHELON CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter reduced risk factors for leaks,1 providing gentle tissue handling and a strong staple line without compromising healing. About this Device ECHELON CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter is designed for improved usability and performance when cutting and stapling in colorectal procedures. Two different staple reloads are available for standard and thick tissue, and the device may be reloaded and fired multiple times when needed. Specialties Colorectal Procedures Low Anterior Resection, Sigmoidectomy Features & Benefits Less Tissue Trauma Gripping Surface Technology (GST)—a proprietary ridged surface on the staple reload—precisely compresses tissue only where needed for 31% reduced compressive forces on tissue and 37% less tissue trauma compared to traditional staplers Reduced Potential Leak Pathways With a gentler curved design, 3D Stapling Technology minimized high stress points throughout the staple line3 and evenly distributed compression throughout the staple line3 to reduce potential leak pathways Deep Pelvic Access Designed for increased visibility and optimal use in the narrower male pelvis, the unique curved head design of the ECHELON CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter gives low pelvic access and enhanced visibility of anatomic structures.
