The Covidien Endo Stitch
™
suturing instrument is designed to make endoscopic suturing
and the tying of intracorporeal knots easy. The Endo Stitch
™
suturing device, with its
integral needle and suture, will make it possible for you to undertake most endoscopic
procedures without the necessity of having to struggle with loose needles and suture.
A wide range of available suture materials makes the Endo Stitch
™
instrument suitable
for use in most endoscopic procedures requiring suturing. All needles and sutures are
housed in convenient to use cartridges, ready for instant loading.
The shaft of the Endo Stitch
™
10mm instrument is 36cm in length to provide enhanced
access to the tissue site.
The large 4mm tissue gap, combined with the jaw’s ability to compress tissue, allows
the Endo Stitch
™
instrument to accommodate a wide variety of tissue thicknesses,
varying between thin, delicate tissue, to tissue thickness requiring the application
of a 4.8mm staple.
The jaws of the Endo Stitch
™
instrument are 4mm wide. To further assist in placing
the needle as close to the tissue as possible, the needle is offset to one side of the
jaws. The needle is closest to the edge of the jaw that is on the side of the instrument
bearing the Autosuture logo.
The needle which is used with the Endo Stitch
™
instrument is taper pointed on both
ends. This double-pointed needle, utilizing taper points, assists in penetrating tissue.
