Precise performance

The fine, curved jaw of the LigaSure™ exact dissector:

  • Allows for precision around critical structures‡
  • Enhances the ability to work in tight spaces8,‡
  • Maximizes the line of sight8,§

Its jaw also applies equal force on opposing tissue planes for effective blunt dissection.

Balanced handling

Engineered for fine dissection, the LigaSure™ exact dissector offers:

  • A working length that’s optimized to provide precise control8,††
  • A cutting trigger that’s aligned with the handle, eliminating interference with the wound edge8,††


Improved efficiency

The fast cooling times of the LigaSure™ exact dissector mean:
