In the Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) technique used in rectal cancer surgery, access deep into the pelvis and as far away from the tumor site as possible is required. Due to the limited space within the pelvis, the surgeon needs a suitable instrument that can pass beyond the distal rectum while providing good visualization of the surgical field. For this purpose, GoldenStapler has developed the Curved Transverse Cutter Stapler. Its small head occupies minimal space, facilitates vertical access to the lower pelvis, creates a staple line longer than the cutting area, and, thanks to its curved design, provides the surgeon with improved visualization.
With each firing, four rows of staples are applied, securely closing both the distal and proximal ends of the rectum while simultaneously cutting the tissue through the center of the staple lines. Therefore, using this instrument eliminates the need for Right Angle Forceps at the proximal end and a linear stapler at the distal end of the rectum.
