By collaborating with leaders in the surgical community, the design of the ECHELON ENDOPATH Stapler is grounded in Halsted's principles of surgery – the importance of hemostasis, and the gentle handling of tissue.
Our endocutters provide uniform, consistent staple formation for hemostasis in a wide range of tissue thicknesses. They have a wide proximal to distal jaw aperture, and they work with a wide range of cartridges – including the gold* cartridge for thick tissue.
They are:
Efficient – simultaneously staples and divides tissue between rows as well as reduces force-to-clamp and force-to-close with fewer strokes.
One-handed – ability to clamp, fire and rotate with one hand with an automatic knife return.
Easy to use – easy tissue positioning and manipulation
Responsive – tactile feedback
Adaptable – 6 rows of staples in all cartridges choices for advanced procedures with greater tissue thickness variability
ECHELON ENDOPATH Staplers are sterile, single-patient-use instruments that deliver staples while simultaneously dividing tissue between rows. They are offered with staple cartridge lengths of 60mm and 45mm, and come in long or compact shaft lengths.
ECHELON ENDOPATH Staplers with gray, white, blue, gold*, and green reloads deliver six staggered rows of staples with a single cut line in-between. A safety lock-out feature is designed to prevent a used reload from being re-fired. A staple retaining cap on the reload protects the staple leg points during shipping and transportation. All ECHELON ENDOPATH Cartridges are compatible only within the ECHELON ENDOPATH Family of Staplers.
Features include:
Enhanced system-wide compression before and during firing for uniform, consistent staple formation
Pre-compression for smoother stapling surface, designed for uniform hemostatic staple line
3-point gap control mechanism in the jaws ensures consistent proximal to distal alignment during firing
Solid, one-piece, precision-machined anvil design allows tissue to compress over the recommended 15 sec. period prior to firing
Wide proximal to distal jaw aperture
ECHELON ENDOPATH 45mm Stapler = 8mm - 21mm
ECHELON ENDOPATH 60mm Stapler = 8mm - 22mm
One-handed operation – free hand to manage tissue
Safety lock-out prevents inadvertent firing of empty, or misloaded cartridges
Wide range of cartridges to accommodate various tissue thickness, all with 6-row stapling capability
