Another feature is provided to prevent firing unless the closure trigger is latched in the closed position. A retaining pin holds tissue in place and can be positioned either manually or by squeezing the closure trigger. The instrument may be reloaded five times, for a maximum of six firings per instrument during a single procedure. Each reload cartridge module includes a knife blade with two staggered rows of staples on each side, an anvil, a cutting washer, a retaining pin, and a staple retainer. Reload cartridges are available in two sizes: a blue cartridge for compressed tissue with a thickness of 1.5mm, and a green cartridge for compressed tissue with a thickness of 2.0mm.

Indications for Use: The CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter Stapler and Reloads is intended for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses. The instrument has application in multiple open or minimally invasive general (gastrointestinal and skeletal muscle), gynecologic, urologic, and thoracic surgical procedures.

Technological Characteristics: The CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter Stapler is identical to the Curved Cutter Stapler predicate device with respect to technological characteristics. The CONTOUR™ Curved Cutter Stapler has the same intended use as the ENDOPATH® Linear Cutters and Staplers.
