Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure Vessel Sealing System

<p>The Ligasure system achieves permanent vessel fusion through its <strong>patented Vessel Fusion Technology</strong>. This mechanism works by applying a unique combination of precisely controlled <strong>pressure and energy</strong> directly to the tissue.</p>

<p>This advanced sealing process offers several key advantages:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Sealing Capacity:</strong> It reliably fuses vessels up to and including <strong>7 mm in diameter</strong> without the need for prior dissection or isolation.</li>
<li><strong>Seal Strength:</strong> The resulting seals are robust, capable of withstanding <strong>three times</strong> normal systolic blood pressure.</li>
<li><strong>Benefits:</strong> The controlled thermal profile leads to reduced thermal spread, virtually eliminating sticking or charring, and leaves <strong>no foreign material</strong> (like sutures) behind.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure system uses patented technology to create permanent vessel fusion for tissue bundles and vessels <strong>up to and including 7 mm in diameter</strong>.</p>

<p>Yes, the Ligasure system is specifically designed to eliminate foreign material residue. It achieves this by using patented technology that creates <strong>permanent vessel fusion</strong>.</p>

<p>This technology combines sustained pressure and focused energy to seal tissue bundles and vessels up to and including <strong>7 mm in diameter</strong>, thus removing the need for traditional foreign materials like sutures or clips.</p>

<p>Yes, the LigaSure seals are engineered for <strong>superior strength and permanent integrity</strong>.</p>

<p>This system uses patented vessel fusion technology, combining precise pressure and focused energy to fuse tissue bundles and vessels up to 7 mm in diameter. This results in exceptional resilience:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Seal Strength:</strong> Seals can withstand <strong>three times (3x) normal systolic blood pressure</strong>, ensuring reliability.</li>
<li><strong>Vessel Capacity:</strong> The fusion technology effectively seals vessels and tissue bundles up to and including <strong>7 mm in diameter</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Material Free:</strong> The fusion process achieves a robust seal without leaving foreign materials (like sutures) behind.</li>
</ul>

<p>Yes, the Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure Vessel Sealing System is specifically designed to manage heat application and achieve true tissue fusion while maximizing patient safety.</p>

<p>The system’s advanced thermal profile provides key benefits:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Reduced thermal spread:</strong> This minimizes potential thermal injury to surrounding tissues.</li>
<li><strong>Virtually no sticking or charring:</strong> This promotes cleaner, more efficient procedures.</li>
</ul>

<p>By combining sustained pressure and focused energy, the system creates robust seals capable of withstanding three times the normal systolic blood pressure, all without requiring foreign materials like sutures.</p>

<p>Yes, the Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure instruments, including configurations like the Laparoscopic Sealer/Divider, are designed for <strong>single-use application</strong> only. This is essential for maintaining high performance and safety standards:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Optimal Performance:</strong> As Factory New instruments, they guarantee the patented vessel fusion technology operates at peak effectiveness, delivering permanent seals up to 7 mm that withstand 3x normal systolic blood pressure.</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced Safety:</strong> The single-use design helps maintain sterility throughout the procedure and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination, contributing to a safer surgical environment.</li>
</ul>

<p>These instruments are typically supplied in packages of <strong>6 units per case (6/cs)</strong>.</p>

<p>The Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure System utilizes <strong>Patented Vessel Fusion Technology</strong>, which combines sustained <strong>pressure and focused energy</strong> to achieve a permanent, reliable seal for vessels and tissue bundles.</p>

<p>This advanced sealing mechanism provides numerous benefits:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Vessel Fusion Capacity:</strong> Fuses tissue bundles and vessels up to and including <strong>7 mm in diameter</strong> without requiring prior isolation or dissection.</li>
<li><strong>High Strength:</strong> The resulting seals are exceptionally robust, capable of withstanding forces up to <strong>three times (3x) normal systolic blood pressure</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Minimized Complications:</strong> The controlled thermal characteristics result in virtually <strong>no sticking or charring</strong>, and the fusion process leaves <strong>no foreign material</strong> behind (eliminating the need for sutures).</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced Efficiency:</strong> The system is designed to potentially save time compared to traditional suturing methods while also reducing the risk of needle stick injuries.</li>
</ul>

<p>Yes, the Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure Vessel Sealing System is available in configurations that feature <strong>Hand Switch Activation</strong>.</p>
