Teleflex now offers its Titan SGS™ Stapler with Staple Line Reinforcement

A New Choice for Bariatric Surgeons: 
Titan SGS Standard Staple Line Reinforcement 
with GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement

WAYNE, Pa., Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical technologies, today announced that the Titan SGS Stapler—the only purpose-built stapler for gastric tissue with a specific indication for sleeve pouch creation in bariatric procedures1—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 Reinforcement received FDA 510(k) clearance on October 6, 2023,2 and is available for pre-order.

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 SGSStandard 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 James Ferguson, President and General Manager, Surgical, Teleflex Incorporated.

More than 10,000 sleeve gastrectomy procedures—laparoscopic and robotic-assisted—have been completed across the United States using the Titan SGS Stapler since its introduction to the market in 2021. Dr. Christina Sanders was the first surgeon to utilize the Staple Line Reinforcement and noted "The Titan SGS™ Stapler along with the Standard Staple Line Reinforcement helps support the security of the staple line and outcomes from my patients."

Product Highlights

  • Designed to protect against leaks. GORE® SEAMGUARD® Reinforcement Material has less than 0.39% leak rate in the U.S.5
  • Engineered to protect against bleeding. The buttress conforms to the staple line anatomy and provides a matrix for blood to start clotting.3 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.6,7
