    FAQ

    Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology can be used alongside your robotic system by having your first assistant apply the stapler from the bedside while you control the robotic arms.4


    This approach, called bedside stapling, has shown in the PINC AI Healthcare Data study5 that Medtronic bedside staplers demonstrate significant advantages compared to ISRG SureForm™* staplers, including: 31.6 minutes less OR time (p<0.001), 17.2X lower likelihood of ICU stays (p=0.044), and $2,670 USD lower total hospitalization costs (p<0.001).4

    When comparing staple line security in robotic staplers, Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology demonstrates 114% greater staple line security across staple sizes than SureForm™* staplers.1,* This enhanced security is particularly important for maintaining consistent staple formation across varying tissue thicknesses.

    Key considerations include staple line security, leak pressure resistance, and hemostasis. Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology addresses these with better staple formation1,*, including 20% greater leak pressure resistance in black staple lines and 37% less likelihood of bleeding in tan staple lines compared to SureForm™* staplers.1,*

    For bariatric procedures, key considerations include bleeding risk and staple line integrity. Preclinical evidence shows that Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ tan staple lines are 37% less likely to bleed than SureForm™* white staple lines1,*, making it particularly relevant for bariatric applications where optimal hemostasis is crucial.

    In colorectal surgery, where anastomotic integrity is paramount, comparative data shows that Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology provides 114% greater staple line security across staple sizes1,† and 20% greater leak pressure resistance in black staple lines1,† compared to SureForm™* staplers.

    Intelligent powered staplers like Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology offer several advantages in robotic surgery, including better staple formation,1,*,† enhanced staple line security (114% greater across sizes)1,*, and improved performance under pressure (20% greater leak pressure resistance)1,* compared to SureForm™* staplers.
