A New Choice for Bariatric Surgeons:
Titan SGS™ Standard Staple Line Reinforcement
with GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement
This buttressing combines the strengths of the Titan SGS™ Stapler with the confidence of GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement Material and is designed to support staple line strength3 and help reduce leaks or bleeds.1,4-7 The Titan SGS™ Stapler is a 23cm, single-fire stapler designed to deliver more consistent and symmetrical sleeve anatomy by enabling the Standard Sleeve™ Technique, an anatomy-based approach to sleeve gastrectomy.1 GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement Material is the only*5 staple line reinforcement proven to significantly reduce leaks in sleeve gastrectomy procedures.4 This complimentary pairing supports bariatric surgeons. “Our focus is to provide bariatric surgeons with innovative solutions for sleeve gastrectomy. Our Titan SGS™ Standard Staple Line Reinforcement featuring GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement Material expands device selection for surgeons. This FDA clearance means that surgeons who prefer staple line reinforcement now have that option with the Titan SGS™ Stapler,” said
More than 10,000 sleeve gastrectomy procedures—laparoscopic and robotic-assisted—have been completed across
Product Highlights
