Hepatic resection inherently carries the risk of significant blood loss for patients, resulting in additional cost due to transfusion and the potential for increased length of stay.1,* Medtronic monopolar sealers use patented Transcollation™ technology, a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and saline, to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue during hepatic surgery.2
Additional Clinical Benefits of Using Transcollation Technology
May reduce the need for other blood management products during or after the procedure2
Capable of sealing bleeding liver parenchyma without producing excessive charring or eschar2
Reduces transfusion rates by minimizing intra-operative blood loss2
Pancreatectomies often result in post-operative pancreatic leaks, exposing patients to additional risks. Medtronic monopolar sealers use patented Transcollation™ technology, a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and saline, to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue on the resection plane and distal stump. This technology has been clinically shown to reduce post-operative pancreatic leaks following distal pancreatectomy.1

Medtronic devices use patented Transcollation™ technology, a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and saline, to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue during surgery. During partial nephrectomy procedures, monopolar sealers are used for blunt dissection of renal parenchyma, treatment of the tumor bed and hemostatic sealing of tissue along the resection line. Transcollation technology has been clinically proven to reduce the need for renal clamping when used during partial nephrectomies.1
