Circular surgical stapler ECHELON CIRCULAR™

gastrointestinal surgery

Leaks are a major surgical concern, especially in the most challenging cases. The ECHELON Circular Powered Stapler, backed by robust clinical data, reduced leaks without compromising healing.1 It combines two stapling innovations – 3D Stapling and Gripping Surface Technologies - on a consistent and reliable powered platform. The ECHELON CIRCULAR™ Powered Stapler is designed for creating a secure anastomosis (when surgeons connect two tube-shaped structures). It’s available in four sizes to allow proper matching of device to diameter of the patient’s anatomy. Colorectal Resections, Gastrectomies, Gastric Bypass, Esophagectomies Colorectal, Gastric, Thoracic The performance of the ECHELON CIRCULAR™ Powered Stapler was validated by clinical and real-world evidence. This stapler demonstrated the following in two studies: 1.8% anastomotic leak rate2 in a multi-site, multi-country clinical study 1.7% anastomotic leak rate in a single institution clinical study, which represented an 85% reduction compared to manual circular staplers3 (1.7% v. 11.8%, p=0.02) Designed with offset closure of the staple legs, 3D Stapling Technology evenly distributed compression throughout the anastomosis5 and reduced potential leak paths compared to the Medtronic EEA™ Stapler.5 Tissue compression can be controlled by varying the height of the closed staple. Gripping Surface Technology delivers precise compression only where it is needed6 to prepare the tissue for staple formation. It also provided gentler handling, with a 33% reduction in compressive forces on tissue compared to the Medtronic DST Series™ Stapler.
