This Endo Stitch™ reload embodies precision engineering tailored for advanced laparoscopic suturing systems. Designed to be used with the SILS Stitch and Endo Stitch 10 mm suturing devices, the single‑use reload provides one meticulously prepared needle-and-suture component that streamlines surgical workflow by enabling quick reloads during minimally invasive procedures. The straight ES‑9 taper‑point needle measures approximately 9 mm, striking a balance between penetration efficiency and practitioner control in delicate tissue environments. Crafted from Polysorb™—a lactomer 9‑1 copolymer synthesized from glycolide and lactide—this braided, coated suture offers the tensile strength needed for wound closure while maintaining controlled absorbability. The violet coloring enhances visibility within the surgical field, aiding in precise manipulation and knot placement. Spanning 48 inches (120 cm) per reload, the suture material ensures sufficient working length for varied operative scenarios, reducing the need for additional units mid-procedure. Safety and convenience are cornerstones of this design. Each reload is sterile and intended for single use, minimizing risk of cross-contamination and ensuring consistent performance. The product's packaging—12 reloads per box—caters to surgical teams by consolidating consumables for efficient inventory and procedural readiness. Overall, the Covidien 170052 reload exemplifies a thoughtful fusion of reliability, functionality, and surgical ergonomics.
