Would you trust these staple lines in your RAS procedures?

No matter what surgical robot you use, staple line formation and the underlying stapling technology should not be compromised.

The intelligent performance of Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology provides better staple formation than the da Vinci SureForm™* stapler.†,1

Confidence with Signia™ and Tri-Staple™ technology


Less bleeding

Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology is 37% less likely to bleed than the SureForm™* robotic stapler.§,◊,1


Performance under pressure

Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology can withstand 20% greater leak pressure than the SureForm™* robotic stapler.1


More security

Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ technology delivers 114% greater staple line security than the  SureForm™* robotic stapler.1

What surgeons are saying about the hybrid approach

Dr. Allison discusses using the hybrid approach for bariatric surgery.

Watch Dr. Allison demonstrate the hybrid approach of revision laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding during a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with the Signia™ stapling system. 

View a video of bedside stapling in a robotic-assisted sleeve gastrectomy using the Signia™ stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology. This surgery is performed by Dr. Lucian Panait of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
