ECHELON LINEAR Cutter

Product Codes: GLC60

The ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter is the first linear cutter with locked halves that allows for one-handed device placement.A,1,2 It had 47% fewer leakage pathways at the staple line compared to ETHICON™ Linear Cutter and GIA™ with Tri-Staple™ Technology; and 67% fewer leakage pathways at the staple line compared to GIA™ with DST™ Technology.B,3 

 

Features & Benefits

More Evenly Distributed Compression

The ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter with 3D stapling technology provided more evenly distributed compression throughout the staple line compared to Medtronic GIA™ with DST™ Technology.C,5

 

Lower Potential of Tissue Slippage

The ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter is designed to stabilize and compress the tissue where it is needed, which may result in lower potential of tissue slippage versus traditional linear cutters.D,6,7 

 

One-Handed Device Placement

The ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter is the first linear cutter with locked halves that allows for one-handed device placement on tissue.A1,2

A. Based upon surgeon usability evaluation, 32 out of 37 responses were in a favorable view of ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter enabling one-handed positioning and placement when the halves are locked.

B. Benchtop testing on porcine colon measuring leakage pathway rates at the staple line at 30mmHg, comparing rates of 52.8% for ETHICON™ Linear Cutter [NTLC] (NTLC75 with SR75 at lower (blue) tissue gap setting), 52.8% for Medtronic GIA with Tri-Staple (GIA80MTS with purple medium/thick reloads GIA80MTC), 83.3% for Medtronic GIA with DST (GIA8038S with blue reload GIA8038L), to 27.7% for Echelon Linear Cutter (GLC80 with blue reload GLCR80B) (n=36, p<0.001). Based on benchtop testing and clinical effect is unknown.

C. Staple line compression analysis on Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) foam assessing the deformation of foam. ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter (GLC80 with GLCR80B) had better distributed compression pressure at 7.20% average pressure variation (N=30,320) compared to Medtronic GIA™ with DST™ Technology (GIA8038S with GIA8038L) at 10.93% (N=31980), (p=.001). Based on benchtop testing and clinical effect is unknown.

D. Benchtop testing in 1.5mm porcine colon measuring tissue slippage failure rate under high cutting force. ECHELON LINEAR™ Cutter with Gripping Surface Technology (GLC80 with GLCR80B) [3.75%] compared to ETHICON™ Linear Cutter (NTLC75 with SLR75 at blue tissue gap setting) [15.64%] and Medtronic GIA™ with DST™ Technology (GIA8038S with GIA8038L) [18.83%], n=12. Based on benchtop testing and clinical effect is unknown.
