They have told us that it provides them with greater stability and control in their laparoscopic procedures, which is very important to the patient and the physician. ”We have been very pleased by the feedback we’ve received from the many surgeons who have tried Powered ECHELON FLEX™ in the few months since we introduced it in the U.S. Used together with the Powered ECHELON FLEX™ Stapler, the new ECHELON ENDOPATH ® Black Cartridge offers a highly effective solution for extra-thick tissue. The new ECHELON ENDOPATH ® Black Cartridge is designed to create a secure staple line in extra thick tissue, such as the first firing in a sleeve gastrectomy. Transecting thick tissue presents a unique set of challenges to surgeons, which is why EES is introducing the ECHELON ENDOPATH ® Black Cartridge at SAGES. EES research shows that the Powered ECHELON FLEX™ reduces movement at the distal tip by at least 63 percent during tissue cutting and stapling compared to the Endo GIA™ Ultra and the Endo GIA™ Universal. Greater control may reduce trauma not only to the targeted area, but also to surrounding fragile organs and tissue. EES’ powered endocutter provides surgeons with greater control and stability when they cut and staple tissue during surgery. We study how our medical innovations interact with and impact living tissue to enable surgeons to achieve the best patient outcomes,” said Todd Kinser, Vice President, R&D at Ethicon Endo-Surgery.ĮES’ most recent product innovation is the first of its kind ECHELON FLEX™ Powered ENDOPATH ® Stapler. “EES is committed to producing innovations that are based on a deep understanding of tissue science to address the unique challenges surgeons encounter during minimally invasive procedures. Surgeons will be able to “test drive” EES innovations including the industry’s first powered endocutter, ECHELON FLEX™ Powered ENDOPATH Stapler, the new ECHELON ENDOPATH ® Black Cartridge, designed to create a secure staple line in extra-thick tissue and ENSEAL ® G2 Tissue Sealers, eight new energy devices that are designed to help surgeons achieve strong vessel seals in open and minimally invasive procedures.Īttendees will be able to learn best practice surgical techniques that can reduce tissue trauma during minimally invasive procedures. For the first time, EES will conduct four surgical simulations inside its exhibit booth (#419). San Diego, CA (March 6, 2012) – Ethicon Endo-Surgery will demonstrate its latest product innovations and best practices in minimally-invasive procedures focused on improving clinical outcomes and the quality of patient care at the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) conference, March 7-11 in San Diego, CA.
