A linear stapler is a passive surgical instrument used by doctors for suturing during surgery. It consists of multiple components, including a handle, needle holder, needle, wire clip, etc.
The characteristics of a linear stapler are simple operation, fast stitching speed, and high stitching quality. It can reduce surgical time, improve surgical efficiency, and reduce surgical trauma. Meanwhile, the suture thread of the linear stapler has good tensile strength and durability, which can effectively fix the tissue and promote wound healing.
According to different needs, linear staplers can be classified into various types. The common types are single needle, double needle, and multi needle. Single needle type is suitable for general sewing needs, double needle type is suitable for situations that require simultaneous stitching in two directions, and multi needle type is suitable for situations that require simultaneous stitching in multiple directions.
The linear stapler and its components have the following applications in clinical applications:
1. Surgical procedures: Linear sutures are widely used in various surgical procedures, such as incision sutures, wound sutures, etc. It can quickly and accurately stitch tissues together, promoting wound healing.
2. Skin repair: Linear sutures play an important role in skin repair. It can accurately stitch skin tissue together, making wound healing more beautiful and reducing scar formation.
3. Endoscopic surgery: Linear sutures are also suitable for endoscopic surgery. It can be sutured through small incisions, reducing surgical trauma and postoperative recovery time.
4. Organ transplantation: Linear sutures play a crucial role in organ transplantation surgery. It can accurately stitch organ tissues together, ensuring the function and blood supply of transplanted organs.
