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.¹

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 articulation¹ allows you the freedom to approach tissue where it naturally lies, delivering greater maneuverability around target tissue and reducing tissue tension.²

When you choose SureForm staplers, you can reduce uncertainty and increase stapling performance like never before.¹

"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 staplers are compatible with da Vinci X, da Vinci Xi, and da Vinci 5 surgical systems. 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 second¹ to make automatic adjustments to the firing process as staples are being formed and as the transection is being made.

What kind of cannula do you need for SureForm staplers?

SureForm 45 and 60 operate through a 12 mm cannula. SureForm 30 operates through an 8 mm cannula.

How many times can I use a SureForm stapler?

SureForm 30, 45 and 60 are all designed for single patient use and has 12 fires per device.

What type of reloads do SureForm staplers use?

Tissue examples
Gray reload for extra thin tissue thickness
White reload for thin tissue thickness
Blue reload for medium tissue thickness
Green reload for thick tissue thickness
Black reload for extra thick tissue thickness

SureForm 30 uses gray, white, and blue reloads.
SureForm 45 uses gray, white, blue, green, and black reloads.
SureForm 60 uses white, blue, green, and black reloads.

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

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