News » Covidien Unveils the Next Generation in Advanced Surgery
LigaSure Advance™ was created in response to
what surgeons said they need to optimize efficiency and safety in the
operating room. This latest innovation in the LigaSure™ lineup is a 5
mm hand-activated instrument that provides surgeons with the ability to
create fusion cycles in two to four seconds, and when used with
Valleylab™ mode, the unique energy modality delivers dissection and
hemostasis.
With sterile-field control of mode and power settings, LigaSure Advance™ is designed to enable surgeons and perioperative staff to focus more effectively on the procedure and patient. Its versatility reduces the need for instrument exchanges, making procedures more efficient and potentially reducing overall operating time.
“My initial impression when I used the LigaSure Advance™ in laparoscopic colon surgery centered on versatility,” said Morris E. Franklin Jr., M.D., Texas Endosurgery Institute, San Antonio, Texas. “Having both LigaSure™ and monopolar capabilities in one instrument significantly reduces surgical time, as less time is lost changing between instruments.”
LigaSure Advance™ is for use exclusively with the ForceTriad™ energy platform controlled by TissueFect™ sensing technology, which in one unit supplies the operating room with enhanced monopolar, bipolar and tissue fusion energy.
