LigaSure Instruments
The LigaSure instruments that complete the VLFT10GEN tissue-fusion system include
reusable and single-use instruments for open and laparoscopic procedures. Each reusable
instrument requires a corresponding single-use electrode. The LigaSure function is only
available when using compatible instruments.
Compatible LigaSure Instruments & Devices
This generator is designed for use with Covidien LigaSure instruments that have a
connector that matches the following figures and are rated for peak voltages of at least
244 V. However, it does not recognize all LigaSure instruments. Please refer to the cover
of the instructions for use to confirm if a specific LigaSure catalog number is compatible
with the VLFT10GEN.
Warning
The tissue fusion function has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal
coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use this function for these procedures.
