The laparoscopic linear stapler is a very useful tissue approximation device. A variety of staple sizes and heights can be used so that the surgeon can select staples that provide proper in vivo balance/tissue juxtaposition without significant ischaemia or tissue destruction. The dimensions of the common staple compartments used to accommodate different tissue thicknesses for proper tissue management are shown below. The device is available with two staggered rows of titanium staples in sizes 60 mm, 160 mm and 90 mm.
Key features and benefits:
---Knife inside the cartridge, Better incision effect and avoid cancer cell transfer.
---Space locking device, Make sure the staples to be formed consistently and good hemostasis result.
---Safety of empty cartridge, Prevent mis-operation of empty cartridge before firing.
---Much larger hatch, Convenient tissue placement and adjustment
---Low profile anvil design, Convenient equipment placement, reduce tissue damage
---6 rows of compact ranged staples,Provide good hemostasia result
---All reloads could be used in the same instrument, Reduce complicated operations, reduce patient costs.
Indication: Transection, resection, and the creation of anastomoses for digestive tissue and organ in endoscopic surgery.
Linear stapler use
No single stapler can address the wide range of tissue management problems that surgeons face on a daily basis. The current review focuses on bariatric, thoracic and colorectal studies.
