Surgical Stapling
Backed by a Body of Evidence
ECHELON products are designed for superior tissue management and control. It's the portfolio that goes "beyond the benchtop," using real-world evidence in bariatric and thoracic surgery to validate innovative performance and design for a better way to staple.
Body of Evidence: Bariatric
The ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Plus Stapler with GST Reloads is backed by retrospective studies to reduce complications and cost.1 It offers greater stability and control through two-stage compression for strong, secure staple lines—even in challenging tissue.
ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Staplers with GST Reloads are backed by large-scale, real-world, peer-reviewed evidence demonstrating improved clinical and economic outcomes in bariatric surgery.
Up to 73%
reduction in bleeding-related complications vs Medtronic Signia™ with Tri-Staple™ Reload (0.61% vs 2.24%, p=0.0012)2
7%
lower median total hospital cost vs Medtronic Signia™ with Tri-StapleTM Reload ($9,771 vs $10,487, p<0.001)3
Body of Evidence: Thoracic
The ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Vascular Stapler plus ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Stapler with GST is proven through retrospective studies to reduce bleeding complications without an increase in price.4 GST offers two-stage compression and stability while PVS offers improved access and precision via a narrow anvil, increased articulation, and smaller shaft diameter for vascular firings.
The ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Vascular Stapler plus the ECHELON FLEX™ Powered Stapler with GST are validated through real-world evidence and were associated with improved hemostasis outcomes without increasing cost in thoracic surgery.
66%
reduction in bleeding-related complications (4.8% vs 14.2%, p=0.01)5
14%
reduction in length of stay (4.99 vs 5.82, p=0.047)6
0%
increase in hospital costs compared to using a single Medtronic stapler7
