## Indications for Use

SURGIS Staple Line Reinforcement II is intended for use as a prosthesis for the surgical repair of soft tissue deficiencies using surgical staplers. The device may be used for buttressing and reinforcing staple lines during lung resection, (e.g., wedge resection, blebectomy, lobectomy, bullectomy, bronchial resection, segmentectomy, pneumonectomy/pneumectomy, pneumoreduction) and other incisions and excisions of the lung and bronchus. The device can be used for the reinforcement of the gastric staple line during the bariatric surgical procedures of gastric bypass and gastric banding, and for reinforcement of staple lines during small bowel, mesentery, colon, and colorectal procedures. The device may be used with anastomotic staplers or non-anastomotic staplers. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for one-time use.

## Device Story

SURGISIS® Staple Line Reinforcement II is a porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) graft used as a surgical staple line bolster. Supplied in lyophilized strips, the device is surface-treated to adhere temporarily to stapler arms. During surgery, the clinician places the graft within the stapler to buttress and reinforce staple lines in lung, gastric, and bowel tissues. By providing mechanical reinforcement, the device helps prevent leaks and tissue damage at the staple site. It is intended for single-use in clinical settings by surgeons.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and viral inactivation testing to demonstrate safety and performance.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS). Form factor: Lyophilized strips (1.0 x 10.8 cm to 1.2 x 19.8 cm). Surface treatment: Adhesive for temporary attachment to stapler arms. Sterilization: Sterile, single-use. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.

### Intended Use:

SURGIS Staple Line Reinforcement II is intended for use as a prosthesis for the surgical repair of soft tissue deficiencies using surgical staplers. The device may be used for buttressing and reinforcing staple lines during lung resection, (e.g., wedge resection, blebectomy, lobectomy, bullectomy, bronchial resection, segmentectomy, pneumonectomy/pneumectomy, pneumoreduction) and other incisions and excisions of the lung and bronchus. The device can be used for the reinforcement of the gastric staple line during the bariatric surgical procedures of gastric bypass and gastric banding, and for reinforcement of staple lines during small bowel, mesentery, colon, and colorectal procedures. The device may be used with anastomotic staplers or non-anastomotic staplers. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for one-time use.

#### Predicate Devices:

SURGIS® Staple Line Reinforcement II is similar to predicate devices, including the SURGIS Staple Line Reinforcement (K022044) and SURGISIS® Soft Tissue Graft (K980431) manufactured by Cook Biotech Incorporated, Peri-Strips® Staple Line Reinforcement (K040119) manufactured by Synovis Surgical Innovations, and Gore Seamguard® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement Material (K032865) manufactured by W.L. Gore & Associates.

#### Device Description:

SURGIS® Staple Line Reinforcement II is manufactured from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) and is nominally supplied in strip sizes (unfolded) of 1.0 x 10.8 cm to 1.2 x 19.8 cm. The device is surface treated to allow it to temporarily adhere to the stapler arms, is packaged in a lyophilized (dried) state, and supplied sterile in a sealed double pouch system.

### Substantial Equivalence:

SURGIS Staple Line Reinforcement II is similar with respect to intended use, materials and technological characteristics to the above predicate devices in terms of 510(k) substantial equivalence as shown through bench and biocompatibility testing.
