Covidien 030414 Endo GIA—6 Pcs / Box—The Endo GIA Universal 12 mm (Single Use Instrument) stapler is used for resection, transection, and creation of anastomosis in abdominal, gynecologic, pediatric, and thoracic surgery.

Tyco Auto Suture Endo GIA Universal titanium staples are the new single-use loading unit. Staples: 6 cm linear length and 3.5 mm wide.

Providing superior staple line security. The staple wire gauge used in “open staplers” is heavier and does not require an additional row of staples. Endoscopic staplers use thinner wire gauge and the additional row of staples ensures superior staple line security and hemostasis. 2.0 Cartridge for thin vascular tissue.

The Endo GIA Universal places two, triple-staggered rows of titanium staples and simultaneously divides the tissue and preloaded reinforcement material between the two, triple-staggered rows.

The tissue reinforcement material is secured to the tissue as the staples are fired. Every cartridge comes with a new sterile knife blade. Using a new knife for each firing ensures that it will never dull through repeated use and reduces the risk of cross-contamination that exists when reusing the same knife blade.
