Non-cutting linear (TA) stapler
A linear stapler that places two staggered rows of titanium staples (30-90 mm cartridges) with no integrated cutting blade; distinct from the already-catalogued cutting linear stapler.
How it is used
Closing a bowel stump without transecting it, such as the rectal stump in a Hartmann's procedure, or oversewing a resection margin.
