Overview

Reliable vessel-sealing technology

Tailored for Thoracic Surgery

The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic sealer/divider is part of our commitment to transforming lung care.

It’s the first — and only — minimally invasive LigaSure™ device designed for VATS procedures and indicated for sealing pulmonary veins and arteries up to and including 7 mm.1–5,6

The multifunctional LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device complements thoracic procedures by providing:

  • One-step vessel sealing7
  • Enhanced blunt dissection8,9,
  • Secure, atraumatic grasping8,9,
  • Cold cutting independent of sealing7,8


The LigaSure™ Technology Difference

Reliable LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology drives the LigaSure™ thoracic device. It works by using the body’s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent seal that is designed to withstand three times normal pulmonary systolic blood pressure.3

Plus, LigaSure™ technology eliminates the guesswork — and minimizes thermal spread8,10,‡ — by automatically discontinuing energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete.11
