LigaSure™ Blunt Tip Open and Laparoscopic Sealer/Divider with Nano-coating Technology

The reliable performance of LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology is better than ever. Because the nonstick nano-coating on the jaws of LigaSure™ blunt tip devices reduces sticking,⁴  eschar buildup,^{2, µ} and cleaning to provide greater efficiency throughout procedures compared to legacy device.^{2, ‡}

LigaSure™ technology uses the body’s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent seal that can withstand three times normal systolic blood pressure.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #R0064457, LigaSure™ renal bench burst pressure evaluation of the Valleylab™ FT10 and ForceTriad™energy platforms.

LigaSure™ blunt tip devices can be powered by the ForceTriad™ energy platform with 3.6 software. But you’ll get even better performance with the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform. Because the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform monitors tissue impedance 130 times faster than the ForceTriad™ energy platform([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00025819 Rev A, LigaSure™ device data sources for VLFT10 white papers.
