LigaSure Function Overview
The LigaSure tissue fusion mode can be used on arteries, veins, and lymphatics
up to and including 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles. This system provides
precise energy delivery and electrode pressure to tissues for a controlled time
period to achieve a complete and permanent fusion of tissues and vessel lumens.
The system has been designed to produce minimal sticking, charring or thermal
spread to adjacent tissue.
The LigaSure touchscreen is divided into two functional parts: the LigaSure 1
control panel, which controls instruments connected to the LigaSure 1 receptacle;
and the LigaSure 2 control panel, which controls instruments connected to the
LigaSure 2 receptacle.
Two LigaSure instruments can be set up at one time through this touchscreen, but
only one instrument can be activated at one time.
During instrument activation, the status bar in the corresponding LigaSure control
panel illuminates blue, and a tone sounds for the duration of energy delivery.
LigaSure 1 Receptacle
The LigaSure 1 receptacle is located directly below the LigaSure touchscreen and
is surrounded by a purple color bar with a purple footswitch icon to the right of it.
This receptacle accepts all Valleylab LigaSure instruments and can read either the
dot patterns or bar codes on the LigaSmart connector. Instruments attached to the
LigaSure 1 receptacle are controlled from the upper, purple section of the
LigaSure touchscreen.
LigaSure 2 Receptacle
The LigaSure 2 receptacle is located directly below the LigaSure 1 receptacle
under the LigaSure touchscreen and is surrounded by a purple color bar with an
orange footswitch icon to the right of it. This receptacle accepts all Valleylab
LigaSure instruments and can read either the dot patterns or bar codes on the
LigaSmart connector. Instruments attached to the LigaSure 2 receptacle are
controlled from the lower, orange section of the LigaSure touchscreen.
