LigaSure™ Small Jaw Open Sealer/Divider

The LigaSure™ small jaw sealer/divider:

• Provides an integrated cutting mechanism independent of sealing, leaving the critical cutting decisions in the hands of the surgeon
• May reduce the exchange of instruments compared to mechanical ligation
• Has a low temperature profile and seals effectively at a cooler temperature compared to Harmonic FOCUS™*

LigaSure™ technology confines effect to target tissue with thermal spread ≤ 2mm on average, so you can feel more confident sealing near critical structures and dissecting around vessels.

Ligasure™ technology has been shown to significantly reduce hospital stay and post-operative drainage days compared to conventional techniques when used for axillary breast dissection.([FOOTNOTE=Cortadellas-Rosel T, Córdoba-Cardona O, Espinosa-Bravo M, Mendoza-Santin C, Rodríguez-Fernández J, Esgueva-Colmenarejo A, Alvarez-Vinuesa M, Rubio-Rodríguez IT, Xercavins-Montosa J.

• Reduced procedure time, blood loss and pain compared to conventional techniques([FOOTNOTE=Fareed M et al. Randomized Trial Comparing LigaSure to Closed Ferguson Hemorrhoidectomy. Tech Coloproctol. 2009 Sep; 13(3):243-6.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Reduced operative time, perioperative blood loss, drainage volume and duration, and incidence of seroma or lymphedema([FOOTNOTE=Manouras A, Markogiannakis H, Genetzakis M, Filippakis GM, Lagoudianakis EE, Kafiri G, Filis K, Zografos GC.
