Clinical and Economic benefits Associated with the Use of Powered and Tissue-specific Endoscopic Staplers Among Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Lung Cancer. Impact of Powered and Tissue-Specific Endoscopic Stapling Technology on Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Lobectomy Procedures: A Retrospective, Observational Study. Comparative Effectiveness Assessment of Two Powered Surgical Stapling Platforms in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Retrospective Matched Study. Rawlins L, Johnson BH, Johnston SS, et al. Benchtop testing in 3.3mm and 4.0mm porcine tissue comparing malformed staples between ECHELON+ Stapler with GST Reloads (GST60B,GST60T) to Medtronic Signia™ Stapler with Tri-Staple™ Reloads (EGIA60AMT, EGIA60AXT) and Endo GIA™ with Tri-Staple™ Reloads (EGIA60AMT, EGIA60AXT). Resulting in a statistically significant compression uniformity, p<0.05. Benchtop testing in 3.2mm synthetic tissue comparing staple line compression between ECHELON+ Stapler with GST Reloads (PSEE60A, GST60B,GST60G) to Medtronic Signia™ and Endo GIA™ Staplers with Tri-Staple™ Reloads (EGIA60AMT). Benchtop testing in porcine tissue ≤ 52mmHg (Double the 26mmHG average pressure experienced during intra-operative leak test), comparing Ethicon ECHELON+ Stapler PSEE60A with GST Reloads GST60B to Medtronic Signia Stapler with Tri-Staple Reloads EGIA60AMT and Medtronic EndoGIA with Tri-Staple Reloads EGIA60AMT. *** Joseph Northup, MD is a paid consultant for Ethiconġ. ** The Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies comprise the surgery, orthopaedics, vision and interventional solutions businesses within Johnson & Johnson’s Medical Devices segment.

Our goal is to always elevate the standard of surgical care,” said Tom O’Brien, Worldwide Endomechanical President, Ethicon. “The launch of the ECHELON+ Stapler with GST Reloads is another milestone in our continuing commitment to evidence-based innovation that can enhance the surgeon’s experience, improve patient outcomes and deliver meaningful clinical and economic value. Complications are driven primarily by postoperative anastomotic leaks and bleeding-related complications which may occur in up to 12% of colorectal resections and in 2% to 10% of lobectomies, respectively. “The ECHELON+ Stapler is a meaningful innovation that addresses a key concern of bariatric surgeons, improving staple line security to help reduce complications,” said Joseph Northup, MD, Medical Director, Premier Weight Loss Solutions***.ĭespite recent advances in surgical stapling technology, perioperative complications persist across specialties. In recent benchtop testing, the ECHELON+ Stapler outperformed Medtronic’s Signia and EndoGIA Staplers with Tri-Staple Reloads providing better staple formation and reducing leaks at the staple line. Several innovative design features distinguish the new device from previous staplers including a reengineered ECHELON+ Anvil, that with Gripping Surface Technology (GST) Reloads, is designed for more uniform compression to better capture and form staples, as well as a new motor with Dynamic Firing, which optimizes firing speed in thick tissue to enhance compression and improve audible feedback. The portfolio has been associated with improved clinical and economic outcomes including fewer bleeding complications, reduced hospital costs and improved efficiency across, procedures, patient populations and countries in large-scale retrospective studies. The ECHELON+ Stapler is the latest addition to the company’s market-leading ECHELON Powered Stapler portfolio. Ethicon*, part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies** today announced the global launch of the ECHELON+ Stapler with GST Reloads, a new powered surgical stapler designed to increase staple line security and reduce complications through more uniform tissue compression and better staple formation, even in challenging situations.
