LigaSure™ technology has been used in more than 25 million procedures worldwide.¹

The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device (LF1930T) is the first and only minimally invasive LigaSure™ device on the market specifically indicated for sealing pulmonary veins and arteries/vessels up to, and including, 7 mm.²

"7 Reasons Why" you want to bring the Right Energy to your thoracic cases with the Ligasure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device (LF1930T):

Reliable Hemostasis

For 7 mm pulmonary vasculature, the device also seals and transects adhesions.^2-8

Improved Access

30 cm shaft designed specifically for access to the thoracic cavity.^4–8

Multifunctionality

The device has the benefits of being a Maryland dissector^9,11, one – step sealer¹³, atraumatic grasper^9,11. cold scissors^9,13 and it may reduce instrument exchanges^9,10 and procedure time^9,14.

Effective Blunt Dissection

For dissecting around the recurrent nerve and lymph nodes without causing damage^9,11

Cooler Jaws

Cooler Jaws

Cooler jaw temperature and faster cool down times compared to Harmonic HD1000i^™*9,12,§.

Coated Jaws

Proprietary nano‑coating on the jaws to reduce sticking^9,15,Φ, eschar buildup^15,16 and cleanings^9,17,Ω.

Better Visualization

The curved jaw allows for better access, visualization and easy skeletonization of vessels^9,10.

We're working hard to transform lung health - from identifying patients earlier to optimizing treatment to accelerating recovery. It's why we're committed to offering a comprehensive suite of technologies tailored for thoracic surgery.
