The access port aids the insertion and removal of the anoscope and the stapler device by dilating the anal sphincter throughout the procedure. The anoscope is designed to facilitate pursestring suture application above the dentate line. It is designed with a guide and markings to assist in creating a circumferential pursestring suture at a consistent placement within the rectum. The dilator is designed to aid the initial insertion of the anoscope and port by retracting the rectal tissue. Both the anoscope and port are transparent to facilitate visualization of the anal canal. The EEA Hemorrhoid and prolapse stapler set with DST Series Technology has application throughout the anal canal to perform surgical treatment of hemorrhoidal disease. The EEA Hemorrhoid and prolapse stapler also has application in the distal alimentary tract for the creation of end-to-end and end-to-side anastomoses.
