According to different power modes, endoscopic staplers are divided into manual endoscopic staplers and electric endoscopic staplers. Manual laparoscopic staplers are Class II instruments, and electric laparoscopic staplers are Class III instruments.

1) The manual endoscopic stapler is manually controlled to activate the staple cartridge assembly to suture the tissue. It is necessary to manually hold the firing handle several times during use. The staple cartridge assembly is pushed to be closed and formed by the mechanical traditional mechanism of the stapler, and improper operation may easily cause the suturing tissue to be pulled and torn.
2) Electric Endoscopic Stapler: Through the combination of DC motor, circuit board and traditional mechanical components, all the action functions of the Endoscopic Stapler are fully realized under electric control, and the operation method is simple.

Electric endoscopic stapler has obvious advantages, which is the development trend of endoscopic stapler. 1) The electric endoscopic stapler is easy to operate, stimulates labor-saving, time-saving, improves efficiency, and reduces the probability of medical accidents; 2) The tissue edge is discontinuous after manual endoscopic stapler anastomosis (cutting and suture), and it is easy to cause tissue pulling and tearing, which is not conducive to tissue wound recovery.
The cutting and suture process of the electric endoscopic stapler is continuous and stable, and the firing force is uniform, so that the edge of the tissue after the anastomosis (cutting and suture) is also continuous and smooth.
