Signia™ Stapling System

Overview Transforming surgical stapling single-handedly Tissue varies but your staple lines shouldn’t. That's why the Signia™ stapling system delivers consistent staple lines — across variable tissue — and the benefits they bring to patients. The Signia™ system gives you the precision of fully powered rotation, articulation, and firing with one hand. Features Delivers consistent staple lines Provides precision and maneuverability with fully powered articulation, rotation, and clamping Displays real-time feedback on an easy-to-understand LED screen Frees your other hand to focus on the surgical site Feels well-balanced in your hand during use The Signia™ stapler is compatible with our existing reload portfolio featuring the proven performance of Tri-Staple™ technology. Technology The Signia™ stapler adapts to tissue variability and lets you know — before you fire — with visual and audible feedback from the handle. This is made possible by Adaptive Firing™ technology and real-time feedback. When you clamp on tissue, the Signia™ stapler: Displays real-time feedback, showing the device is ready to fire Sets one of three firing speeds based on the tissue variability Adjusts firing speed based on tissue variability and thickness Acknowledging a clinical challenge Appropriate selection of the cartridge for the tissue to be divided is essential in the clinical setting, but it’s not always easy or possible to determine the thickness of the tissue intraoperatively. The Signia™ system’s continuous clamp force measurements — displayed on the handle in real time during a procedure — give you information about stapling conditions. Higher clamp force measurements may indicate thicker tissues and more challenging tissue applications. The Signia™ system adapts to these changing surgical conditions, by appropriately adjusting firing speed based on force measurements to optimise staple formation so you get more consistent staple lines.

FAQs: Q1: What is the Signia™ Stapling System? A1: The Signia™ Stapling System is a powered surgical stapler that provides consistent staple lines across different tissue types using real-time feedback and Adaptive Firing™ technology. Q2: How does the Signia™ system improve surgical precision? A2: It enables one-handed articulation, rotation, and firing, allowing the surgeon’s other hand to stay focused on the surgical site, while delivering consistent, reliable staple lines. Q3: What type of feedback does the Signia™ stapler provide? A3: It provides visual and audible real-time feedback through an LED screen, including clamp force and readiness to fire. Q4: What is Adaptive Firing™ technology? A4: Adaptive Firing™ adjusts the stapling speed based on tissue thickness and variability, helping optimize staple formation. Q5: Is the Signia™ stapler compatible with Tri-Staple™ reloads? A5: Yes, it works with Medtronic’s existing reload portfolio featuring proven Tri-Staple™ technology.
