About Ligasure
The Science of Vessel Sealing Technology
Valleylab’s patented LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology
* Permanently fuses vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles without dissection or isolation
* Provides a unique combination of pressure and energy to create vessel fusion
An optimized combination of pressure and energy creates the seal by melting the collagen and elastin in the vessel walls and reforming it into a permanent, plastic-like seal. It does not rely on a proximal thrombus.
* Feedback-controlled response system automatically discontinues energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete, eliminating the guesswork
When the instrument determines the seal is complete, a tone sounds and output to the handpiece is automatically discontinued.
* Reduces thermal spread
Minimizes thermal spread to approximately 2 mm for most LigaSure™ instruments; average thermal spread is less than 1 mm when using the LigaSure Precise™ instrument and approximately 1.5 mm when using the LigaSure™ V instrument.
* Unique energy output results in virtually no sticking or charring
* A clinical study demonstrated that seals withstand 3x normal systolic blood pressure
High-burst-strength, feedback-controlled bipolar vessel sealing.
Clinical Benefits for Both the Surgeon and Patient
The LigaSure™ system can potentially replace all other hemostatic devices for ligation of vessels up to and including 7 mm
* Open instruments mimic standard surgical clamps to provide the surgeon ease of use
* Permanent seal leaves no foreign material behind to interfere with future diagnosis
The seal is created using the body’s own collagen to actually change the nature of the vessel walls and obliterate the lumen. The collagen and elastin within the tissue melt and reform to create the seal zone.
* Potential time savings compared to suture
* May reduce blood loss in some surgical procedures
* Minimizes the need for multiple applications
Vessels are typically sealed using a single application.
* Reduces the risk of needlestick injuries
Reducing Needlestick Injuries in the Operating Room.
* Visible, possibly translucent seal provides an indication of seal integrity, increasing surgeon confidence
