Procedural applications for this device include:
The LigaSure vessel sealing systems have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures. Use caution during surgical cases in which patients exhibit certain types of vascular pathology (atherosclerosis, aneurysmal vessels, etc.). For best results, apply the seal to unaffected vasculature.
