Circular Stapler

A circular stapler is a single-use surgical stapler for end to end, side to side and side to end anastomosis of the digestive tract. Its parts are the anvil, the cartridge, the staples and the circular blade; on firing the staples join the tissue and the blade cuts, so the tissue is joined and divided in one firing. Circular stapler, circular surgical stapler and the Turkish sirküler stapler name the same device. A surgical stapler is a sterile medical device that joins tissue in an operation; it has nothing to do with office or industrial staplers.

Yes, the device class is the same. Ethicon and Covidien (Medtronic) also make circular staplers, and brand-derived names such as EEA are used in everyday language for this class too. The class is defined by use: a single-use surgical stapler that joins and divides the tissue in one firing for anastomosis of the digestive tract. The DH, DHT and RYCS families on this page fit that definition. The brand names belong to their owners, and the products on this page are not products of those brands. This page does not compare performance, compatibility or price between brands.

The DH and DHT families come in 24, 26, 29, 32 and 34 mm outer diameter, and the RYCS family from 21.6 to 33.6 mm. In the DH family the cut diameter grows from 15 to 24 mm and the staples per cartridge from 18 to 28 as the diameter grows. The surgeon chooses the diameter for the site of the anastomosis and the tissue, and the instructions for use do not replace an operative guide.
