Disposable Surgical Linear Stapler

The disposable linear stapler is primarily used for creating linear anastomoses (connections) and closures in surgical procedures. It is commonly utilized in gastrointestinal surgeries, including bowel resections, gastric bypass surgery, and colon surgeries.

The device typically consists of a handle, a shaft, and a cartridge containing surgical staples. The shaft is inserted into the body through a small incision, and the surgeon controls the device remotely. When activated, the instrument cuts the tissue and places rows of staples to close or divide the tissue.

As the name implies, disposable linear staplers are designed for single-use only. This eliminates the need for sterilization between surgeries and reduces the risk of cross-contamination and infection associated with reusable instruments.

Modern disposable linear staplers often come with safety features to prevent unintended tissue damage or misfiring. These features may include mechanisms to ensure proper alignment of the stapler and sensors to detect tissue thickness and integrity.
