o Reduces distal extrusion of tissue
o Requires less force to compress tissue to desired thickness
o Allows increased blood profusion to the cut line
3 Advantages of the Stronger Fixed Anvil
continuously welded heavier-gauge material
o Improved maneuverability of stapler around target tissue
o Enhanced clamping force
o Improved tissue retention during manipulation and transection
