GIA™ stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology


A familiar design.

Now with the benefits

of Tri-Staple™ technology.

Tri-Staple™ technology
The GIA™ stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology delivers three rows of varied height staples and a stepped cartridge face. Its unique design may promote greater perfusion to the cutline.1,2,†,‡ In your hands, it will also deliver:
  • Less stress on tissue during compression and clamping3,§,Ω,††
  • Consistent performance over a broad range of tissue thickness4,†,‡‡

A surgeon’s experience:
Upgrading to three-row confidence. 

Ryan Jones, M.D., used a two-row linear cutter in his open colorectal procedures. Then he tried our GIA™ stapler with Tri-Staple™ technology.

†Preclinical results may not correlate with clinical performance in humans.
‡Based on perfusion analysis of Endo GIA™ staplers with Tri-Staple™ technology’s graduated-height staple lines vs. Ethicon Echelon two-row, single-height staple lines (EGIA n = 12; Ethicon n = 14; P = .011).
§Bench test results may not necessarily be indicative of clinical performance.
ΩFinite element analysis (FEA) was used to determine the strain profiles of Covidien and Ethicon open linear staplers during clamp-up. The GIA™ stapling with Tri-Staple™ technology demonstrated a graduated compression profile upon clamping.
††Compared to GIA™ staplers with DST Series™ technology and Ethicon Proximate™* Linear Cutter.
‡‡Based on an in vivo evaluation of tissue abrasion (n = 5), hemostasis (n = 5), and staple formation (n = 30) in canine models.
