The MUSE System consists of a single patient use flexible endostapler (or stapler), a reusable control console, and associated accessories including a monitor and staple cartridges. The endoscopic stapler is a single use, sterile device (EtO) which resembles an endoscope in appearance and material construction. The distal tip of the device contains a video camera, ultrasonic range finding sight, illumination, irrigation port, insufflation port, and the staple anvil. The distal tip is retroflexed to align with the staple cartridge located in the shaft of the stapler. An alignment pin in the distal tip is used for initial positioning of the anvil against the cartridge.
A sterile, hand-held, manual surgical instrument intended to be used during abdominal, gynaecological, paediatric, and thoracic endoscopic (i.e., endotherapy) surgery for the application of surgical staples to approximate internal soft tissues (e.g., two ends of bowel) or for fixation of a surgical mesh to tissue during a laparoscopic procedure; it has no cutting function and may be used during open surgery. The device operates by a manual mechanism (e.g., trigger mechanism) whereby it applies single or multiple linear rows of surgical staples to a portion of tissue. The staples may be housed in a single-use loading unit (SULU) which may be included. This is a single-use device.
