An articulating endoscopic linear cutter is a surgical instrument used in minimally invasive procedures, typically in laparoscopic or endoscopic surgeries. This tool is designed to cut and staple tissues simultaneously, allowing for efficient and precise tissue dissection and closure.
Here's how it generally works:
Design: The cutter typically consists of a shaft with a handle on one end and a cutting and stapling mechanism on the other. The shaft is inserted into the body through a small incision, guided by an endoscope or laparoscope.
Articulation: The "articulating" feature means that the cutting and stapling mechanism can be controlled and adjusted by the surgeon to reach and maneuver around specific areas within the body cavity. This flexibility enhances the surgeon's precision and reach, especially in confined spaces.
Cutting and Stapling: The cutter is equipped with a blade for cutting tissues and a stapling mechanism for sealing the cut edges simultaneously. This dual-action feature saves time during surgery and helps ensure a secure closure of tissues, reducing the risk of bleeding and promoting faster healing.
Control and Activation: The surgeon controls the articulation and activation of the cutter via the handle. Once the desired tissue is positioned within the jaws of the instrument, the surgeon activates the cutter, which simultaneously cuts and staples the tissue.
Safety Features: Modern articulating endoscopic linear cutters often come with safety features such as sensors to prevent firing if the tissue thickness is not appropriate or if the instrument is not properly positioned, reducing the risk of errors and complications.
These instruments are commonly used in various surgical procedures, including gastrointestinal, bariatric, and thoracic surgeries, where precise tissue cutting and closure are essential. Their minimally invasive nature makes them preferred choices for many surgeries, as they result in smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries.
Advantages:
Advanced unequal nail design-perfect cutting and suturing ensure excellent blood supply to the anastomosis, greatly improving the recovery rate after surgery.
- The design of six rows cross staplers, keep tissue safe.
- Better blood supply,better tissue thickness adaptability, less tissue crush injury.
- Single use blade, changed with reload. Ensure the blade is sharp and reduces tissue damage.
- Isometric height retainer structure, made the staple mold consistently.
- Equipped with the safety inter lock device to prevent the used reload from being triggered again, thus ensured safety in surgical operation.
- Different altitude for staple, the ladder nail bin is suitable for pressing various tissue thickness, effectively clamping and firing.
