Medtronic SIGADAPTSHORT Signia™ Linear Stapler Adapter Short – Powered Stapling System Accessory

Medtronic Signia™ Linear Adapter Short (SIGADAPTSHORT) — Premium Adapter for the Signia™ Powered Stapling System

Elevate the precision, responsiveness, and performance of your operative stapling with the Medtronic Signia™ Linear Adapter Short (Product Code: SIGADAPTSHORT). Designed specifically for the Signia™ stapling platform, this high-quality short linear adapter represents the cutting edge in surgical stapler accessory technology.

Key Features & Benefits

Seamless Compatibility with Signia™ Powered Stapling System
The Short Linear Adapter integrates fully with the Signia™ Power Handle and Power Shell, enabling the use of Signia™ Linear Reloads (Tri-Staple™ 2.0 cartridges and reloads).

Real-Time Feedback & Intelligent Performance
Built-in sensor gauges, motor-mating connectors, and electronic communication interfaces provide live feedback to the surgeon during clamping and firing phases. This intelligence permits adaptive firing speeds and helps ensure consistent staple formation across variable tissue thicknesses.

Short Form Factor for Accessibility & Precision
The “Short” adapter length provides enhanced handling in confined or deep surgical fields. Its compact design offers improved maneuverability while maintaining full function, enabling surgeons to focus their attention on the operative site without bulk. 

One-Handed Operation & Ergonomics
When paired with the Signia Power Handle, the Short Adapter supports fully powered articulation, rotation, clamping and firing—allowing single-handed control that frees the other hand to manage tissues or maintain exposure. The device is balanced for comfortable use during complex minimally invasive procedures. 

Robust, Reusable Construction
Designed as a reusable instrument, the Short Linear Adapter is constructed to withstand sterilization cycles and a full service life. It includes precision components (sensor gauges, motor-connectors, communications interface) and is deactivated automatically only after its operational lifespan, not pre-maturely. Non-sterile upon shipment. 

Leverages Medtronic Tri-Staple™ Technology & Adaptive Firing™/Adaptive Compression™
As part of the Signia™ platform, this adapter helps enable all the benefits of Tri-Staple™ staple shape, footprint, and compression, along with Adaptive Firing™/Adaptive Compression™ features that adapt staple closure and firing speed to tissue conditions. This results in consistent staple lines and secure tissue approximation with reduced risk of malformed staples.
