BLEEDING
Our study suggests that a 30-second precompression, along with a 30-second post-fire
waiting period, possibly results in improved staple formation. In addition,
precompression time is a critical factor in optimizing staple formation. Further,
the removal of the device from the tissue after the waiting period is shown to have
a significant effect on bleeding, hospital stay, and recovery.
