Endo GIA - 030422


Device Description

A unit containing non-bioabsorbable surgical staples (implantable and typically U-shaped lengths of wire made of implant grade metal) designed to be used with a surgical stapler (not included) to mechanically fasten internal tissues together (e.g., the subcuticular closure of skin or the approximation of the ends of bowel) to facilitate healing typically in abdominal, thoracic, gynaecologic, orthopaedic, or plastic and reconstructive surgery. The unit is designed to deploy the staples in multiples (e.g., as a row of staples) and is often referred to as a single-use loading unit (SULU) or reload.
