Animal Health / Covidien Products / Veterinary Vessel Sealing / LigaSure™ Blunt Tip Open and Laparoscopic Sealer/Divider with Nano-coating

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE. GREATER EFFICIENCY.2,†

We’ve combined the trusted performance of LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology with nonstick nano-coating on the jaws of our blunt tip sealers/dividers. That means greater efficiency and fewer interruptions in the OR.1,†

Jaws that stick because of eschar buildup can affect device performance and disrupt the flow of your procedures. Our nonstick jaws help keep cleaning to a minimum and maximize your efficiency.3, ‡

Features

Control and Versatility. With Greater Efficiency.

One portfolio of sealer/dividers with many applications to meet your needs in the OR.

For specialties including:4

  •   General
  •   Urological
  •   Vascular
  •   Thoracic
  •   Gynecological

The new nonstick nano-coating on the jaws has raised the bar for LigaSure™ technology. Benefits that stick. And jaws that don’t.

Compared to our uncoated legacy device, the nonstick coating on LigaSure™ blunt tip devices:

  •   Creates 89% less sticking5,§
  •   Reduces eschar buildup by 15%2, µ
  •   Results in fewer cleanings2, Ω
  •   Makes cleaning more efficient2, Ω

Fewer interruptions mean greater efficiency. And that translates to better performance — for you and your patients.
