New Retrospective Study Reports Significantly Reduced Post-Operative GERD Rates with the Titan SGS™ Stapler from Teleflex Compared with Multi-Fire Staplers in Sleeve Gastrectomy
Data also demonstrate significantly lower rates of postoperative reflux and decreased incidence of de novo gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) without affecting total weight loss at 1-year*, and shorter average hospital length of stay (LOS) associated with use of the Titan SGS™ Stapler compared with multi-fire staplers1 WAYNE, Pa., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical technologies, today announced the publication of a new ret
