Open-surgery manual linear cutting staplers are sterile, hand-held surgical instruments used during open surgical procedures to quickly cut through tissues and create connections between them. These devices are commonly employed in abdominal, gynecological, pediatric, and thoracic surgeries to resect tissues like the colon while simultaneously applying rows of surgical staples to the cut ends.
These devices are typically supplied as single-use instruments, often with a disposable loading unit containing staples and cutting blade. They are manually operated through mechanisms such as levers or sliding knobs and are designed for one-time use only to ensure sterility and performance.
