Greater leak protection1,†,‡

Introducing the only open linear stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology.

Our priority to help surgeons improve patient outcomes never wavers. That’s why we’ve advanced open stapling by giving our GIA™ stapler Tri-Staple™ technology. Now in your open procedures, you can have a familiar handle design that delivers:

  • Stronger staple line leak pressure compared to two-row staplers([FOOTNOTE=Based on report# RE00171002 rev 0, 80 mm GIA™ Stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology purple and black design verification report. Aug. 14, 2019.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00324614 rev A2, Comparative testing versus competitive devices. May 2021.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
  • Less stress on tissue during compression and clamping([FOOTNOTE=Eschbach M, Sindberg GM, Godek ML, et al. Micro-CT imaging as a method for comparing perfusion in graduated-height and single-height surgical staple lines. Med Devices (Auckl). 2018;11:267–273.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),†,Ω
  • A stepped cartridge face and varied height staples that may provide greater perfusion to the staple line4,([FOOTNOTE=Based on report # RE00222215, Endo GIA™ Tri-Staple™ testing performed and design similarities between Lily and Endo GIA™ Tri-Staple™ technology memo.

Tri-Staple™ Technology

Stapling made smarter

Find out how Tri-Staple™ technology’s stepped cartridge face and three rows of varied height staples work with the natural properties of tissue.

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

  • ‡Based on burst pressure testing in porcine colon comparing GIA80MTS (n = 12) and GIA80XTS (n = 12), Ethicon™* TLC75 (n = 24; p=0.010), Frankenman™* LC80B™ (n = 24; p = 0.000), and Panther™* SSAB-80 (n = 24; p=0.000).

  • §Compared to GIA™ staplers with  DST Series™ technology.

  • ΩFinite element analysis (FEA) was used to determine the strain profiles of Medtronic and Ethicon open linear staplers during clamp-up. The GIA™ stapling with Tri-Staple™ technology demonstrated a graduated compression profile upon clamping.

  • ††Preclinical results may not correlate with clinical performance in humans.

  • ‡‡Based on perfusion analysis of Endo GIA™ staplers with Tri-Staple™ technology’s graduated-height staple lines vs. Ethicon Echelon™* two-row, single-height staple lines (EGIA n =12, Ethicon n = 14; p = .011).

  • §§Based on an in vivo evaluation of tissue abrasion (n = 5), hemostasis (n = 5), and staple formation (n = 30) in canine models.
