Teleflex Incorporated announced that the Titan SGS?? Stapler--the only purpose-built stapler for gastric tissue with a specific indication for sleeve pouch creation in bariatric procedures--is now available with staple line reinforcement (SLR). This new option is designed to offer a choice for bariatric surgeons who prefer buttressing on every staple fire during sleeve gastrectomy.

The Titan SGS?? Standard Staple Line Rein reinforcement received FDA 510(k) clearance on October 6, 2023 and is available for pre-order. Product Highlights: Designed to protect against leaks.

GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement Material has less than 0.39% leak rate in the U.S. Engineered to protect against bleeding. The buttress conforms to the staple line anatomy and provides a matrix for blood to start clotting. This is designed to support the Titan SGS?

Stapler?s anatomy-based approach to sleeve gastrectomy. Designed to reduce bleeding complications. Randomized prospective data shows that GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement Material significantly reduces bleeding in standard and laparoscopic gastric bypass.
