LigaSure Function Overview
LigaSure Function Overview
LigaSure tissue fusion 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.
There are no editable parameters in the LigaSure quadrant.
During instrument activation, the progress wheel in the LigaSure display control panel
illuminates, and a tone sounds for the duration of energy delivery.
Some instruments cause the hand-activation ON/OFF switch to appear on the control
panel when the instrument is recognized.
Important
If using an instrument that causes the hand-activation button to appear on the LigaSure control
panel, see
