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

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

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.
