Intended use
1.1 Specification of the indication
The ligation instruments are intended to be used to seal arterial
and venous blood vessels and vascular tissue structures in
laparoscopic and open surgical procedures in gynaecology,
urology, general surgery, and in other surgical disciplines with
the aid of an HF current and mechanical pressure.
In addition the ligation instruments are suitable for the
conventional bipolar coagulation. The instruments can also be

and optics) by surgically prepared accesses.

In conjunction with the BOWA HF generators ARC 400/350 is

identification and parameter preselection.
DO NOT USE this instrument on vessels larger than 7 mm in
diameter*.
