Device Description
The
C
ONTOUR
Curved Cutter Stapler is a multifire, single patient use device with a curved head that cuts
and staples. The device delivers four staggered rows of titanium staples, with a knife between the second
and third row of staples, and creates a 40 mm curved transection. The device is designed with a feature
which prevents closing if a used reload or no reload is in the instrument. Another feature is provided to
prevent firing unless the closure trigger is latched in the closed position. A retaining pin holds tissue in place
and can be positioned either manually or by squeezing the closure trigger.
The instrument may be reloaded five times, for a maximum of six firings per instrument during a single
procedure. Each reload cartridge module includes a knife blade with two staggered rows of staples on each
side, an anvil, a cutting washer, a retaining pin, and a staple retainer. Reload cartridges are available in two
sizes. Refer to the table below.
