Easy to Use

Surgeons who tested the instrument say the actions to grasp, seal, cut, deploy, and retract the Valleylab™ monopolar L-hook are simple and intuitive.¹

Simply press a lever on the handle to deploy the L-hook — and deliver the precision of Valleylab™ monopolar dissection. When you’re ready to switch back to the Maryland jaws, just press the lever to retract the L-hook.([FOOTNOTE=LigaSure™ Retractable L-Hook Laparoscopic Sealer/Divider IFU [package insert].

The Speed of One-Step Vessel Sealing

The Maryland-style jaws of the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument: 

• Deliver improved access to targeted tissues compared to straight jaw devices — even in tight spaces^2£ 
• Provide the ability to follow the curvature of the uterus/stomach^2†
• Allow for easy skeletonization of vessels^2†

And you get the speed and reliable performance of LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology.

Precise Dissection at Your Fingertips

The LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument:

• Provides precise, versatile, and effective energy dissection^2†
• Provides the ability to create an otomy (gastrotomy and enterotomy)³
