Company profile
researched Aug 2026Standard Bariatrics, Inc. is a surgical procedure company that develops and commercializes medical devices for bariatric surgery, originally based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its core product is the Titan SGS stapler, a linear cutter designed specifically for longitudinal transection and resection of gastric tissue in sleeve gastrectomy pouch creation. The device offers a 23-centimeter continuous staple cutline, described as the industry's longest, and is presented as the only commercially available stapler in the United States with a specific indication for gastric sleeve pouch creation. The stapler received FDA 510(k) clearance (K210278) in April 2021, supported by a 62-patient study, and was first used clinically in August 2021.
The product line has expanded into a portfolio marketed around the Titan Sleeve technique, an anatomy-based approach intended to produce a symmetrical, standardized sleeve pouch. Portfolio components include the Titan SGS stapler, a power unit, staple line reinforcement, a precision bougie and a trocar device. Technical features cited by the company include graduated staple height formation, load-sensing technology, real-time feedback and a firing cycle optimized for gastric tissue, with a single firing used to complete the sleeve pouch.
The company was acquired by Teleflex Incorporated under a definitive agreement announced in August 2022, and its products are now marketed under Teleflex, which holds the Standard Bariatrics, Titan SGS and Titan Sleeve trademarks.
