Does LigaSure cut tissue?
The LigaSure Impact™ sealer/divider can grasp, seal, and cut tissue independently — or you can perform all three in one step.
What is LigaSure impact?
With the LigaSure Impact™ instrument, surgeons possess an open vessel-sealing tool that integrates ligation with vessel sealing of up to and including 7 mm in diameter, resulting in faster operating times and lower risk for blood loss compared with conventional techniques.
What is the LigaSure device?
LigaSure is a bipolar clamping device used in open and laparoscopic surgeries for producing haemostasis in vascular pedicles up to 7 mm in diameter (“Covidien LigaSure technology: consistent, reliable, trusted vessel sealing,” 2012). LigaSure was used for securing haemostasis and tissue dissection.
How hot does LigaSure get?
22 Two independent experimental studies using infrared thermal imaging demonstrated that the temperature of the LigaSure device can rise up to 96 8C, 23, 24 and the mean lateral thermal spread above 60 8C is about 1.376 6 0.27 mm with activation on thyroid parenchyma.
How does the LigaSure work?
LigaSure vessel sealing technology works by applying a precise amount of bipolar energy and pressure to fuse the collagen and elastin in the vessel walls. It effectively seals vessels 1 to 7 mm in diameter with minimal sticking, charring, or thermal spread.
How does LigaSure device work?
Is LigaSure monopolar or bipolar?
LigaSure (bipolar vessel sealing) technology is a radiofrequency-driven bipolar electrosurgical device.
How does a LigaSure work?
How does Medtronic LigaSure impact open instrument work?
The LigaSure Impact™ instrument, working exclusively with the ForceTriad™ energy platform, combines TissueFect™ sensing technology with hand activation and an integrated cutting mechanism to create a multifunctional vessel sealing system that provides consistent, controlled tissue effect. Designed for use in open procedures.
How is tissuefect technology used in LigaSure impact?
TissueFect™ sensing technology monitors changes in tissue impedance 3,333 times a second, and adjusts energy output accordingly to deliver the appropriate amount of energy for the desired tissue effect. What is LigaSure™ tissue fusion?
Is the activation button on LigaSure impact ergonomic?
The LigaSure Impact™ device is lightweight, comfortable to use, and the activation button is ergonomically positioned. 2 It’s designed to optimize performance across a range of specialties, including:
How long does it take to seal a LigaSure vessel?
LigaSure™ tissue fusion, like LigaSure™ vessel sealing, uses the body’s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent fusion zone. This technology can fuse vessels up to and including 7 mm, lymphatics, tissue bundles and pulmonary vasculature, and has an average seal cycle of two to four seconds in most surgical situations.
