Da Vinci SureForm 60 stapler with SmartFire technology

SureForm 30, 45, and 60

Eliminate guesswork with the intelligence and control of our most advanced surgical stapler—SureForm.

At its core is SmartFire technology, which monitors tissue compression before and during firing, making automatic adjustments to optimize the staple line.

A 120° cone of articulation allows you the freedom to approach tissue where it naturally lies, delivering greater maneuverability around target tissue and reducing tissue tension.¹

When you choose SureForm staplers, you can reduce uncertainty and ensure stapling performance.

Da Vinci SP SureForm 45

Pairing SureForm 45 with da Vinci SP brings the benefits of fully wristed stapling to thoracic, colorectal, and urologic procedures on our single-port robotic platform. This integration means surgeons and hospitals can offer these procedures with a single incision, while maintaining the precision and control of da Vinci stapling.

"Once you understand how the SmartFire technology works, taking over 1,000 measurements per second¹ and providing real-time feedback, you’ll never be able to look at a mechanical stapler again in the same way."

Frequently asked questions

Which da Vinci systems can SureForm staplers be used on?

SureForm 30, 45, and 60 staplers are compatible with da Vinci 5, Xi, and X.

SP SureForm 45 is only compatible with da Vinci SP.

They are seamlessly integrated with our surgical systems so you have full control of positioning, clamping, and firing from the surgeon console.

What is the value of SmartFire technology?

With one press of a pedal you can activate SmartFire technology, which measures tissue compression before and during firing. SmartFire technology uses more than 1,000 measurements per second² to make automatic adjustments to the firing process as staples are being formed and as the transection is being made.

What kind of cannula or accessories do you need to use SureForm staplers?

Mulitport SureForm 45 and 60 staplers operate through a 12 mm cannula. SureForm 30 operates through an 8 mm cannula or a 12-8 mm Reducer.

The da Vinci SP SureForm 45 stapler operates through the Advanced Access Port.

How many times can I use a SureForm stapler?

SureForm 30, 45, 60, and the SP SureForm 45 stapler are all designed for single patient use and have 12 fires per device.

How many rows of staples does SureForm deliver in a staple line?

SureForm 45 and 60 and SP SureForm 45 deliver six rows of staples. SureForm 30 delivers four rows of staples.
