Overview

Reliable performance. Greater efficiency.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00076629, Blunt tip iterations validation marketing summary: independent surgeon feedback collected during Medtronic-sponsored lab. Aug. 16–17, 2016.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),†

We’ve combined the trusted performance of LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology with nonstick nano-coating on the jaws of our blunt tip sealers/dividers. That means greater efficiency and fewer interruptions in the OR.1,†

Jaws that stick because of eschar buildup can affect device performance and disrupt the flow of your procedures. Our nonstick jaws help keep cleaning to a minimum and maximize your efficiency.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00063136, Lig-42 report product claims LF18XX: benchtop testing conducted using porcine uterine tissue, a wet gauze cleaning fixture, and optical imaging analysis.

The new nonstick nano-coating on the jaws has raised the bar for LigaSure™ technology. Benefits that stick. And jaws that don’t.

Compared to our uncoated legacy device, the nonstick coating on LigaSure™ blunt tip devices:

  •   Creates 89% less sticking([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00062678, Benchtop tissue sticking comparison of the Ethicon™* G2, Voyant™* 5 mm Fusion, LigaSure™ LF1644, and LigaSure™ LF1837 devices conducted on porcine uterine tissue using the ForceTriad™ energy platform.

  •   Reduces eschar buildup by 15%2, µ
  •   Results in fewer cleanings2, Ω
  •   Makes cleaning more efficient2, Ω

Fewer interruptions mean greater efficiency. And that translates to better performance — for you and your patients.
