Introducing the features of ECHELON CONTOUR Curved Cutter with Gripping Surface Technology and 3D Stapling Technology. Reduced risk factors for leaks with the improved ECHELON CONTOUR Curved Cutter Stapler. Learn more:
Risk factors for leaks include the following: tissue trauma and a staple line with uneven compression. Benchtop testing on porcine colon comparing mean mucosal capture of
46.3% (n=30) for Echelon Contour to 74.46% (n=30) for Contour (p less than 0.05). Finite element‐based computational simulations (FEA) on simulated porcine tissue measuring
tissue compression after approximation and staple formation, comparing average standard deviation of 5.481 for 2D staples to 5.109 for 3D staples (n=37, p less than 0.05).
