January 12, 2024- Teleflex Incorporated announced that the Titan SGS™ Stapler—the only purpose-built stapler for gastric tissue with a specific indication for sleeve pouch creation in bariatric procedures—is now available with staple line reinforcement (SLR).
This new option is designed to offer a choice for bariatric surgeons who prefer buttressing on every staple fire during sleeve gastrectomy. The Titan SGS™ Standard Staple Line Reinforcement received FDA 510(k) clearance on October 6, 2023, and is available for pre-order.
This buttressing combines the strengths of the Titan SGS™ Stapler with the confidence of GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement Material and is designed to support staple line strength and help reduce leaks or bleeds.
