A surgical stapler is a medical device used to connect tissues during surgery, usually for suturing blood vessels, intestines, skin and other tissues. Its principles and advantages are described below:
principle:
The principle of surgical staplers is based on mechanical pressure that presses tissue edges together in order to form a sealed connection. A stapler usually consists of a beam or shaft, a suction head for absorbing tissue, and an operating handle for compressing the suction head. The surgeon places tissue into the stapler head of the stapler and then operates the handle to compress the stapler head to hold the tissue together. This mechanical anastomosis process is faster and more precise than traditional hand stitching.
Advantage:
Save time: Using a stapler can significantly shorten surgical time, which is especially valuable for surgeries that require a lot of suturing.
Reduced Human Error: Because the surgical stapler is a mechanical device, it provides a more consistent and precise suturing, reducing the risk of human error.
Reduce tissue damage: The stapler can perform precise anastomosis without damaging the surrounding tissue, reducing damage to the surrounding tissue and helping to speed up the patient’s recovery process.
Reduced risk of infection: Because the stapler can complete the suturing quickly, it reduces the time the tissue is exposed during the procedure, thereby reducing the risk of infection.
Wide range of applications: The surgical stapler can be used in a variety of surgeries, including cardiac surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, vascular surgery, etc., so it has a wide range of applicability.
In general, surgical staplers provide a fast, precise and reliable anastomosis method through mechanization, and provide important tools and technical support for surgical operations.
