There are many types of medical staplers, one of which is circular stapler. The circular stapler and endoscopic curved intraluminal stapler are often used in gastrointestinal surgery.
The endoscopic curved intraluminal stapler is an instrument used in minimally invasive surgery, especially within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Surgeons operate within the inner space of hollow organs such as the esophagus, stomach, or intestines.
The stapler has a curved shaft, which is designed to make it easier to navigate the natural curves and corners within the GI tract. This curved shape allows for better access to complex surgical locations, such as narrow corners or hard-to-reach angles within the cavity.
"Intraluminal" refers to the use of the stapler within the inner space of a hollow organ. This means that the stapler is designed to be used within the cavity of the esophagus, stomach, or intestine, allowing surgeons to perform anastomoses (a connection between two structures) or close internal defects or openings.
Endoscopic Applications:
The endoscopic curved intraluminal stapler is used with an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera and light) to allow the surgeon to see inside the gastrointestinal tract during surgery. This surgical approach reduces the need for large incisions, thereby shortening patient recovery time and reducing postoperative complications.
1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Surgery: The stapler can be used to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter or perform a fundoplication, which is wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus.
2. Bariatric Surgery: In surgeries such as gastric bypass surgery, the stapler helps to form a small stomach pouch and connect it to the small intestine.
3. Gastrointestinal Tumor Resection: The stapler is used to remove tumors and reconnect the healthy part of the organ.
The price of this circular stapler is also affected by many factors. Generally speaking, the price of each piece ranges from US$500 to US$3,000 or even more. If you buy more, there will be some discounts. If you encounter some product activities, the price will be lower. It depends on the level of detailed communication with the salesperson.
