The LigaSure™ Exact Dissector is built on reliable LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology. Its jaws deliver radiofrequency (RF) electrosurgical energy to seal vascular structures (vessels and lymphatics) or tissue bundles1. We designed the LigaSure™ Exact Dissector with a fine, curved jaw profile, engineered to2:

  • Deliver precise blunt dissection2,† with a cool thermal profile3
  • Optimize your ability to work in tight spaces2,‡
  • Enable a more efficient procedure (compared to similar energy-based devices)2,§

The LigaSure™ exact dissector also:

  • Cools in 10 seconds after 5 activations3
  • Makes sealing and cutting simple and intuitive2,ΩΩ
  • Reduces the need for instrument exchanges due to faster cool down time2,‡‡
  • Rapid cool down enables secure and atraumatic grasping of tissue2,††

The LigaSure™ exact dissector has:

  • 3 mm average jaw width4
  • The device cuts sealed tissue to within 2 mm of the tip of the jaw4
  • The device has a working length of 75 mm4
  • The jaw has a curve angle of 21 degrees4 and a
    length of 21.6 mm
