Signia™ Stapling System

EVERY INDUSTRY HAS SMART INNOVATION. IN HEALTHCARE, IT TAKES A DIFFERENT KIND OF SMART.

PRECISE CONTROL. CONSISTENT STAPLE LINES.2,3 SMART STAPLING, DEFINED.

SMART IS DELIVERING REAL-TIME FEEDBACKThe Signia™ system uses technology to:

■ Communicate the zone it’s firing in—from Zone 1 at regular speed, to Zone 3 at slowest speed4

■ Deliver consistent staple lines2,3

■ Provide both visible and audible feedback

■ Support clinical decision making by providing force-sensing feedback1,5

SMART IS TRI-STAPLE™ TECHNOLOGYThis technology has been providing customers with graduated compression profile, which delivers:

■ Less stress on tissue during compression and clamping8

■ Outstanding performance in variable tissue thickness

■ Greater perfusion into the staple line versus uniform staple closure9

SMART IS ADAPTING TO EVERY TISSUE CHALLENGEBecause tissue varies throughout the body and between patients, the Signia™ stapling system uses Adaptive Firing™ technology to:

■ Measure force and provide feedback when clamping tissue1,2,3

■ Set firing speed based on clamp force measurement4

■ Continuously measure force during firing and slow firing speed based on those measurements4

SMART IS PRECISION AND MANEUVERABILITYThe Signia™ system is a fully powered single-handed stapler with powered articulation, rotation, clamping and firing. It:

■ Provides greater precision and maneuverability† 6,7

■ Reduces unwanted motion when manipulating, clamping and firing through tissue† 6,7

† As compared to manual devices and/or EES Echelon Flex™*

SMART IS BEING REUSABLEInstead of using batteries that must be disposed of after a single procedure, the Signia™ system:

■ Is reusable for up to 300 procedures

■ Uses a lithium rechargeable battery4

■ Employs a universal reload platform
