Clinically proven confidence

Tri-Staple™ technology reloads are designed to work in harmony with the natural properties of tissue before, during, and after stapling. Each reload has a stepped cartridge face that delivers graduated compression and three rows of varied height staples

The result of that design is a reload that provides superior strength and leak resistance^{4,8,Ω,††} across procedures.

Unique design. Universal benefits. No matter your specialty.

No single stapler can address the wide range of tissue management issues faced by surgeons on a daily basis. That’s why we’ve given our entire portfolio the power of Tri-Staple™ technology. So you can have reliable results — no matter your specialty.

Less stress^1,2,†,‡

Each Tri-Staple™ reload has a stepped cartridge face that delivers graduated compression and three rows of varied height staples. That design helps generate less stress on tissue during compression and clamping.^1,2,†,‡

Greater perfusion^3,†

Tri-Staple™ technology’s graduated compression profile and varied height staples allow greater perfusion into the staple line.^3,†

Superior performance^2,4-7,§,Ω

With unique design features, reloads with Tri-Staple™ technology deliver superior performance across a broad range of thicknesses.^2,4,7,§,Ω

Introducing Tri-Staple™ 2.0

Tri-Staple™ 2.0 reloads are equipped with a computer chip that can communicate information during your procedure. When Signia™ and Tri-Staple™ 2.0 are combined you will receive information on the Signia™ screen before, during & after you fire, to help support clinical decision making.⁹

Tri-Staple™ speciality reloads

Tri-Staple™ Speciality reloads are designed to help you address procedurally specific challenges. All including Tri-Staple™ 2.0 technology for real-time feedback, the Curved Tip, Black, 30 mm, Reinforced and Radial reloads are all designed to work with both our Manual and Signia™ handles.
