The CST platform is an advanced surgical stapler used in many surgeries to remove part of an organ or tissue and to recreate the function of an alimentary canal. Engineer rethinks and redesigns the entire structure, to solves the stapler problem of malformation caused by the “piston effect”. It helps to reduce the cost of medical treatment, simplifies the surgeon's learning curve, and provides a better experience.

Design can establish the link between engineering technology and user demends. To create professional, safe and high-quality medical devices to serve surgeons, give them more choices and benefit more patients.
