Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure Vessel Sealing System

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

This advanced sealing process offers several key advantages:

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

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

This advanced fusion technology offers several significant advantages:

• Robust Strength: The resulting seals are exceptionally strong, proven to withstand three times the normal systolic blood pressure.
• Enhanced Efficiency: The system achieves sealing without requiring prior dissection or isolation of the tissue, potentially reducing procedure time compared to traditional suturing.
• Clean Fusion: The process uses controlled pressure and energy, leaving no foreign material (such as sutures) behind.
• Optimized Performance: Key features include reduced thermal spread and virtually no sticking or charring during the procedure.

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

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

Yes, the LigaSure seals are engineered for superior strength and permanent integrity.

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:

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

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

The system’s advanced thermal profile provides key benefits:

• Reduced thermal spread: This minimizes potential thermal injury to surrounding tissues.
• Virtually no sticking or charring: This promotes cleaner, more efficient procedures.

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.

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

• Optimal Performance: 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.
• Enhanced Safety: The single-use design helps maintain sterility throughout the procedure and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination, contributing to a safer surgical environment.

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

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

This advanced sealing mechanism provides numerous benefits:

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

Yes, the Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure Vessel Sealing System is available in configurations that feature Hand Switch Activation.

This provides surgeons with an important operational choice for precise and customized instrument control during various surgical procedures. Note that other variants may offer retractable options instead.

The Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure instruments are packaged for surgical use in cases containing 6 units (6/cs).

This packaging quantity is standard across all available variants and configurations, including different instrument lengths and jaw types (e.g., Laparoscopic Sealer/Divider or Small Jaw Open Instruments).

Yes, the Medtronic Valleylab Ligasure system offers potential efficiency gains in the operating room.

The system’s core benefit is its Patented Vessel Fusion Technology, which combines controlled pressure and energy to permanently fuse tissue bundles and vessels up to 7 mm in diameter.

This advanced sealing mechanism offers several advantages over traditional methods like suturing:

• Potential Time Savings: The fusion process facilitates sealing without requiring dissection or isolation, potentially saving procedural time compared to conventional suturing techniques.
• Enhanced Safety: It virtually eliminates sticking or charring due to reduced thermal spread and contributes to reducing the risk of needlestick injuries.
• Reliable Integrity: The resulting seals are robust, designed to withstand up to three times normal systolic blood pressure.
