Colorectal surgery:
The main challenges
In colorectal surgery, every procedure is unique and can be challenging in its own way. Anatomical variations, restricted access or obstruction, extensive bleeding, inadvertent trauma, inflammation or infection, and anastomotic leaks – can all impact performance and patient recovery.
To confidently navigate these challenges, colorectal surgeons can rely on Tri-Staple™ technology and energy devices.
Confidently navigate
colorectal challenges
Maximizing blood supply to the anastamotic site is crucial in reducing the risk of anastomotic leaks. The intricate handling and twisting of the bowel during resection can inadvertently compromise blood flow which can undermine performance and lead to an unsatisfactory procedural outcome.
Tri-Staple™ technology’s graduated compression profile and varied height staples allow greater perfusion into the staple line.1,†
Products that enhance outcomes
Signia™ Stapling System
The world's first smart stapler10
The Signia™ Stapling system works with a variety of existing Medtronic Stapling reloads and the portfolio of compatible reloads is continually expanding. When coupled with Tr-Staple 2.0 reloads it provides real-time feedback to help empower surgical decision making.11,††
GIA™ stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology
Ensuring the right amount of pressure, the GIA™ stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology:
- May allow greater perfusion into the staple line as compared to two-row linear staplers6,7,§,§§
- Provides stronger staple line leak pressure as compared to two-row linear staplers8,9,ΩΩ
- Generates less stress on tissue during compression and clamping as compared to two-row linear staplers6,7,§,§§
Black Reload with
Tri-Staple™ technology
An advanced stapler reload solution for thick tissue applications. Specifically designed for use in extra-thick tissue.
EEA™ circular stapler with
Tri-Staple™ technology
For improved blood supply, the EEA™ circular stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology:
