  • Multipurpose linear staplers designed to use manual force to staple and cut tissue, incorporating a blade to cut tissue along a designated channel immediately after inserting rows of staples alongside the channel to seal the tissue on either side of the cut. These staplers usually consist of an insulated tubular shaft that provides tissue cutting and stapling capabilities at the distal of and a handle. The instrument may include an articulated mechanism at the distal end to provide different angles of operation. The integrated handle at the proximal end includes a firing mechanism for cutting and stapling. These devices are used with different staple cartridges with sizes (e.g., 1.5, 2.0 mm height) according to the thickness of the tissue to be resected and stapled. They are intended for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses in a variety of open or minimally invasive surgical procedures (e.g., gynecologic, urologic, thoracic) procedures and also for transection and resection of other organ tissues (e.g., liver parenchyma, pancreas, kidney, and spleen).
