Unique Surgical Stapler

Problem: Current surgical staplers are the subject of numerous adverse events

● 8-9,000 adverse events per year in US alone (FDA) ,14.3% suture line separations; 32.1% staples not forming and 30% device failures
● patient outcomes include anastomosis failure, sepsis, repeat surgery and bleeding

Solution: The new developed stapler has been specifically designed to ameliorate the problems with existing staplers, by:
▼ Delivering enough staples to seal graft in one action
▼ Improving stapler shaft design which allows use of the stapler in keyhole surgery, limiting trauma and reducing the likelihood of bleeding
▼ Using �smart� alloys that do not require an opposite force and tighten automatically post insertion, which reduce trauma, bleeding and increase seal strength

Procedures in which the new vascular stapler could be used include:
● coronary artery bypass grafts,
● aortic aneurysm repair,
● heart valve replacement,
● vascular anastomosis

Current Development and Status.
▼ Initially focussed on vascular stapling
▼ Numerous prototypes for various applications being developed
▼ Base versions successfully bench and animal trialled
▼ Sutures, stapler and adhesive market US$2.2 billion p.a. worldwide in 2004 (Frost & Sullivan)
