The Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform
Monopolar Modes
The system produces six modes of monopolar power output.
CUT Modes
PURE
CUT provides a clean, precise cut in any tissue with little or no hemostasis.
BLEND
CUT is a conventional blended waveform that provides slower cutting with
simultaneous hemostasis.
VALLEYLAB Mode
VALLEYLAB mode is a unique combination of hemostasis and dissection that allows the
user to slow down for more hemostasis and speed up for faster dissection. Thermal spread
is equal to or less than CUT or BLEND modes.
COAG Modes
SOFT
desiccates tissue at a relatively slower rate with deeper thermal penetration. It is
typically performed with a ball electrode.
FULGURATE
coagulates tissue by sparking from the active electrode, through air, to the
patient tissue.
SPRAY
delivers wider fulguration; penetration is shallower and the affected tissue area is
larger than with the FULGURATE mode.
