This is what Ethicon has to say about the CDH29A Stapler: The PROXIMATE
ILS Staplers are anastomotic staplers available in four sizes to permit
proper matching of instrument to lumen diameter. The staplers permit
tissue attachment to a detachable anvil head to improve access and ease
of use.
The instruments allow the surgeon to control tissue
compression by adjusting the height of the closed staple. These circular
staplers have been designed to facilitate ease of insertion, operation,
and removal.
The PROXIMATE ILS Curved and Straight Intraluminal
Staplers have application throughout the alimentary tract for
end-to-end, end-to-side, and side-to-side anastomoses, and throughout
the anal canal to perform surgical treatment for hemorrhoidal disease.
Circular
stapler, curved. Largest diameter knife blade; lumen up to 30%larger
than equivalent circular staplers. Cutting washer provides audible,
tactile “crunch” when stapler fired. Adjusting knob offers smooth tissue
compression control.
Controlled tissue compression enables surgeon
to control staple height for good tissue management. 5.5mm staple leg
length accommodates thick tissue with the longest staple length
commercially available. Low profile anvil head for easy access into
proximal bowel. Detachable anvil head assembly for better tissue
attachment.
Gap setting scale shows acceptable range of tissue
thickness. Length: 21mm – CDH21 – , 25mm – CDH25 – , 29mm – CDH29 – ,
33mm – CDH33 – Available Sizes: 21mm – CDH21 – , 25mm – CDH25 – , 29mm –
