The LigaSure Atlas™ handset is a single-use instrument with vessel sealing and tissue dividing capabilities. It is targeted for use in general procedures where ligation and division of vessels are performed.
The LigaSure Atlas™ handset has a 20 or 37 cm shaft and is designed to fit down a 10 mm cannula. The shaft can be rotated up to 359 degrees via a rotation knob. The ergonomically designed handset provides one-handed operation of grasping, rotation and cutting. Sealing occurs by ratcheting the handle and activating through the purple button on the device or through the LigaSure footswitch.

Across the range of products and procedures, LigaSure™ technology delivers a unique combination of pressure and energy to create a consistent seal with each application.
TissueFect™ sensing technology is the control system for the ForceTriad™ energy platform, designed to precisely manage energy delivery, creating a range of options for desired tissue effect. 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.
LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology has been updated and improved in the ForceTriad™ energy platform, controlled by TissueFect™ sensing technology. 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.
