Additional Details

• Company Name: Covidien LP
• FDA Product Code: GDW
• FDA Product Code Name: Staple, Implantable
• GMDN Term Code: 35615
• GMDN Term Name: Surgical staple loading unit, non-cutting
• GMDN Term Definition: A unit containing non-bioabsorbable surgical staples (implantable and typically U-shaped lengths of wire made of implant grade metal) designed to be used with a surgical stapler (not included) to mechanically fasten internal tissues together (e.g., the subcuticular closure of skin or the approximation of the ends of bowel) to facilitate healing typically in abdominal, thoracic, gynaecologic, orthopaedic, or plastic and reconstructive surgery. The unit is designed to deploy the staples in multiples (e.g., as a row of staples) and is often referred to as a single-use loading unit (SULU) or reload.

Covidien’s AutoSuture business now resides within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit, under the Medical Surgical Portfolio. This group is focused on delivering advanced technologies for minimally invasive surgery, with a deep legacy in surgical stapling, energy devices, and laparoscopic instrumentation.

Key products from the former AutoSuture line include:

• Endo GIA™ staplers and reloads – a flagship line of linear cutting staplers used in a variety of laparoscopic and open procedures.
• Signia™ – a powered stapling platform offering real-time feedback and adaptive firing technology.
• LigaSure™ – a trusted vessel sealing system for tissue fusion and hemostasis.
• VersaOne™ trocars – for secure and versatile access during minimally invasive surgery.
• Sonicision™ – cordless ultrasonic dissection tools that combine energy and precision.

These technologies form the backbone of Medtronic’s minimally invasive surgical portfolio, originally developed under the AutoSuture brand by U.S. Surgical Corporation, then acquired by Tyco Healthcare, which later became Covidienbefore merging with Medtronic in 2015. Today, Medtronic continues to build on this heritage, delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, precision, and outcomes in the operating room.
