Valleylab™ FX8 Energy Platform

The Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform drives electrosurgical handpieces with precision using lower levels of energy.^1,2 It’s designed to support a wide range of surgical procedures that require division, hemostasis, and dissection.

Along with cut, coag, and soft coag modes, the Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform enables two unique modes that can bring new possibilities to your procedures:

• Valleylab™ mode provides a unique combination of monopolar hemostasis and division^2,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE0068753, A quantitative comparison to conventional monopolar electrosurgery: L-hook monopolar drag force measurements. March 2017.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])^,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report # RE00115057, Monopolar performance of Valleylab™ mode on the Valleylab™ FT10 Energy Platform. Sept 2017.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Shared coag mode allows two surgeons to work on the same patient at the same time — from a single energy platform

Plus, the Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform delivers:

• Precise monopolar and bipolar energy^1,2
• Power control during monopolar energy delivery that’s five times better than the ForceTriad™ energy platform^1,2,††
• Tissue monitoring that’s 2,600 times faster than the Force FX™ electrosurgical generator^4,([FOOTNOTE=Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform part # PT00046835_A [service guide].
