The Endo GIA™ universal stapling system compresses tissue as it is fired. The tissue gap control mechanism compresses tissue while it simultaneously lays down a staple line and transects the tissue. This provides consistent staple formation even at the distal end of the cartridge.
What is circular stapling?
The Welfare Circular stapler is used in general surgery, thoracic surgery, surgical treatment of obesity and in colo-rectal surgery, to perform end-to-end, side-toend, and side-to-side anastomoses. Controlled tissue compression provides the flexibility to adapt to tissue depending on the clinical situation.
Why use surgical staples instead of stitches?
Staples may be simpler, stronger, and speedier to use to close large, open wounds than traditional stitches, and may be used after major surgery. For example, staples are often used after C-sections because they help the incision heal faster while also reducing scar appearance.
What happens to staples after surgery?
Unlike stitches, surgical staples don’t dissolve as your incision or wound heals. For this reason, they require some special care and must be removed by your doctor once the incision has healed.
Can the endo Gia™ roticulator™ cartridges be used with all instruments?
All straight and Endo GIA™ Roticulator™ cartridges can be used with all universal instruments (GIA™ universal, Endo GIA™ universal and Endo GIA™ universal XL). What is the shaft diameter of the Endo GIA™ universal stapler?

How does the endo Gia™ Universal stapling system work?
The Endo GIA™ universal stapling system compresses tissue as it is fired. The tissue gap control mechanism compresses tissue while it simultaneously lays down a staple line and transects the tissue. To accomplish this sequential tissue compression, the instrument is fired in 15 mm increments with each full squeeze of the handle.
How many times can I fire the endo Gia™ Universal?
All three universal instruments (GIA™ universal, Endo GIA™ universal and Endo GIA universal XL) can be loaded and fired 25 times. Why do I have to squeeze the handle multiple times? The Endo GIA™ universal stapling system compresses tissue as it is fired.
