Improved burst pressure strength. Reduced tissue compression stress on outer staple row compared to Endo GIA Universal reloads. Consistent hemostatic performance across a broader indicated tissue range. Improved tissue retention during manipulation and transection. Broader indicated tissue thickness ranges for tan, purple and black reloads. Unique black reloads for extra-thick tissue applications previously beyond the indications of any MIS staple. Curved tip reload enhances visualization, blunt dissection and tissue manipulation.
