ENTact® Septal Stapler

ENTact Septal Stapler
®
Coapt in a snap.
Achieve consistent results with enhanced
access and speed.
Current techniques in septoplasty involve placing simple splints and sutures to
approximate septal flaps created during surgery. However, suturing within the confines
of the narrow and deep nasal passageway can be an arduous and time-consuming
task for even the most experienced surgeon.
ENTrigue Surgical® has developed a novel solution to address this challenge: resorbable
implants delivered via an ergonomic, single-use stapler system that supplants the
need to suture. Using the ENTact® Septal Stapler, surgeons can typically achieve
approximation in less than a minute.1 Overall, use of the ENTact Stapler reduces OR
time, minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, and helps surgeons achieve more
consistent results.

Taking a fresh look
at the needs of
Otolaryngologists.
While performing the cumbersome
task of suturing down a narrow
nasal passageway during a
septoplasty, you may have thought
to yourself, “There’s got to be an
easier way to do this.” You may
have talked about it with colleagues
or even sketched out some ideas.
We listened to surgeons, and
created an easy-to-use stapler that
eliminates the need for suturing
during septoplasty by deploying
resorbable implants instead.
While the technology behind a
stapler is not new, the challenge
of developing one small and
maneuverable enough for use
in the sinuses is.
Innovative instruments are just
the beginning. We are leveraging
proprietary breakthroughs in
biotechnology to deliver a range
of next generation devices and
therapies for the ENT operating
room and office. We encourage you
to find out more about our current
range of ENT solutions and what
we’re addressing next.

thoughts on a problem
you’re facing.
We’re listening.
