Laterolateral (side-to-side) intestinal anastomosis: a single firing, a complete seal

Intestinal resection and anastomosis is one of the most technically demanding procedures in small animal practice, and the instrument in your hand can make the difference between an uneventful recovery and dehiscence.

The gastrointestinal anastomosis linear cutter (GIA) does in one firing what manual suturing takes multiple steps to achieve: it transects the tissue and applies a double-staggered staple row to both luminal edges at once, creating an immediate haemostatic seal.

What the literature shows:

White (2008): 15 dogs, mean anastomosis time of 7.7 minutes, no intraoperative complications, all patients recovered from surgery.
Jardel and colleagues (École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort, 2011): 30 dogs operated by supervised junior residents with limited prior training. Mean duration 15 ± 12 minutes, 25 of 30 uneventful recoveries, one anastomotic leakage. Fast and safe even in non-expert hands following appropriate training.

Genoni and colleagues (2024): endovascular GIA used safely in dogs up to 10 kg and cats, across five referral institutions and 25 patients, with a median follow-up of 126 days and no major complications.

Ready to perform anastomoses with confidence?

We stock the disposable linear cutter staplers designed precisely for this procedure:

Ref. GH553 (55 × 3.85 mm), for short-segment resections and anastomosis in medium-sized patients
Ref. QAB803 (80 × 3.8 mm), for longer resections and larger-calibre gastrointestinal tissue

Both feature a double-staggered staple row, an integrated scalpel blade, a retractable handle with audible locking mechanism, and an anti-misfire safety system. A cartridge is included with each instrument, and sterile reloads are available separately (Ref. GK553 and Ref. QB803).

During our Advanced Knee Surgery Course in Madrid, we asked Dr. Esperanza Ribes, DVM, PGCert Orthopaedics & Traumatology (UCM), GPCert(Surg) a simple question: what is it really like to work with Blue?

Her answer wasn't about implants.

It was about knowing she can reach us whenever she needs to. About having someone available to discuss a case, answer a question or help solve a problem. And about no longer needing to keep a large inventory, because any order placed during working hours is delivered anywhere in Europe within 48 hours.

Accessibility isn't something that happens by chance. It's something we've built into the way we work.

Eight years ago, we chose WhatsApp as our main communication tool. Not because it was the latest technology, but because it made sense for veterinary surgeons. A phone call can interrupt a consultation, distract someone during surgery or block the clinic line when an owner needs urgent assistance. A message waits until there's the right moment to reply.

For the past eight years, this has been how hundreds of veterinary surgeons across Europe have worked with us. Between appointments. During a lunch break. At the end of a busy day. Always at their own pace, knowing there's a real person on the other side, with a response within one hour, Monday to Friday.

What we never expected was how those conversations would evolve.

Over time, they became much more than order requests. Surgeons began sharing challenging cases, asking for second opinions, discussing surgical planning and exchanging ideas. The conversations that begin during courses like the one in Madrid often continue long after the final procedure has finished.

Dr. Ribes described accessibility as one of Blue's greatest advantages. For us, it's simply where everything starts.

Our instruments, fast delivery, lifetime manufacturing warranty and every service we provide only have value if we're there when a surgeon needs us most.
