Increasing staple line strength, increasing resistance to leaks and preventing bleeding are clinical concerns of surgeons.
Peri-Strips products are the staple line reinforcement of choice in many Bariatric Centers of Excellence and many approved Heart Lung Transplant Centers and Lung Volume Reduction Surgery Programs.
Synovis’ staple line reinforcement products demonstrate several clinical and operative benefits:
- Superior strength and resistance to leaks 1,2,3,5
- Improved visibility of the staple line due to decreased bleeding 4,6
- Reduced manipulation of the patient’s own tissue
- Easy-to-use loading system
Confidence at the staple line.
