In your hands, our energy solutions have been setting the standard of patient care for nearly 50 years. But the challenges of today’s healthcare system demand we go further — with technologies that bring even greater efficiency to procedures.
That’s why we created the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook laparoscopic instrument. The only device of its kind, it delivers the benefits of1:
And that’s why the LigaSure™ L-hook instrument:
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.3
The Maryland-style jaws of the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument4:
And you get the speed and performance of LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology.
The LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument4:
And the L-hook is there when you need it, and out of the way when you don’t.
We’re redefining versatility. So you can keep your focus on the surgical site and protect patients from the risks of multiple instrument exchanges.5
Because the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument combines the functionality of five devices in one. And gives you the performance of both LigaSure™ technology6
We’re transforming patient care with one of the most versatile surgical instruments we've ever created.
The LigaSure™ retractable L-hook laparoscopic sealer/divider offers the functionality of five devices — in one instrument1. And it combines the reliable performance of LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology4 with the precise dissection of Valleylab™ monopolar energy.
It’s also easy to use.
Surgeons who tested the device say the actions to grasp, seal, cut, deploy, and retract the Valleylab™ monopolar L-hook are simple and intuitive.1,8
LigaSure™ technology uses the body’s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent seal that can withstand three times normal systolic blood pressure.9
With an average seal cycle of 1-4 seconds on vessels up to and including 7mm10, our technology can seal:
And it automatically stops energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete. So patients get a quality seal.
The L-hook delivers the precise dissection of Valleylab™ monopolar energy2†. The result of nearly 50 years of experience collaborating with healthcare professionals in the surgical energy field.
