Overview Specifications Dimensions

ECHELON CONTOUR^™ Curved Cutter

Product Codes: GCS40B, GCS40G

Stapling deep within the pelvis presents clinical challenges. It can be difficult to achieve good staple formation, due to access and varying tissue conditions, and this may result in leaks. ECHELON CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter reduced risk factors for leaks,¹ providing gentle tissue handling and a strong staple line without compromising healing.²

Features & Benefits

Less Tissue Trauma

Gripping Surface Technology (GST)—a proprietary ridged surface on the staple reload—precisely compresses tissue only where needed for 31% reduced compressive forces on tissue and 37% less tissue trauma compared to traditional staplers.²

Reduced Potential Leak Pathways

With a gentler curved design, 3D Stapling Technology minimized high stress points throughout the staple line³ and evenly distributed compression throughout the staple line³ to reduce potential leak pathways.³

Echelon-Contour

Deep Pelvic Access

Designed for increased visibility and optimal use in the narrower male pelvis, the unique curved head design of the ECHELON CONTOUR^™ Curved Cutter gives low pelvic access and enhanced visibility of anatomic structures.⁴
