Review of 1,051 cases between 2012 and 2015 from the Premier Perspective® Hospital Database. Hemostasis-related complications: 4.8% vs 14.2%; p=0.010. Transfusion: 3.0% vs 9.4%; p=0.023. Total hospital cost: $23,219 vs $25,207; p=0.242.

ECHELON FLEX™ GST System vs Endo GIA™ with Tri-Staple™ Technology. 20% vs 44%, GST 45 Blue (n=25) & Green (n=30) reloads vs Tri-Staple™ 45 Purple (n=25) & Black (n=30). Based on similar design features between ECHELON GST45 & GST60, no significant difference in performance is expected.
