An endoscopic linear cutting stapler is a medical device used in surgical procedures, particularly in minimally invasive surgeries. It's designed for cutting and stapling tissues simultaneously. This tool is commonly used in gastrointestinal surgeries, such as gastric bypass surgery and colorectal surgery.
The principle of endoscopic stapler
Endoscopic stapler medical device used for tissue suturing during endoscopic surgery. The principle is to introduce two pieces of tissue into the interior of the stapler through the endoscope. There are a series of needles and support plates inside the stapler. By controlling the movement of the needle, the needle clamps and sews the tissues at both ends together, and then rotates the support plate. Secure the suture in place. Endoscopic staplers are simple and convenient to use, can reduce bleeding and damage during surgery, shorten surgery time, and help patients recover quickly
Here's how it typically works:
Placement: The surgeon inserts the endoscopic linear cutting stapler into the body through a small incision or natural opening, guided by an endoscope.
Positioning: Once inside the body, the stapler is positioned at the site where tissue needs to be cut and stapled, often around organs or vessels.
Activation: The surgeon activates the stapler, which simultaneously cuts the tissue and seals the edges with surgical staples. This process helps to prevent bleeding and promotes faster healing.
Removal: After the procedure is complete, the stapler is removed from the body.
The endoscopic linear cutting stapler allows surgeons to perform complex surgeries with greater precision, minimal invasiveness, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgeries. It's an essential tool in modern surgical practice, particularly for procedures where preserving tissue integrity and minimizing trauma are crucial.
