Nonstick nano-coating enhances the performance of the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device. Now you can grasp, cut, dissect, and reliably seal tissue and vessels([FOOTNOTE=LigaSure™ Maryland Jaw Sealer/Divider, Nano-Coated [instructions for use]. Boulder, CO: Medtronic; 2016.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) — with fewer interruptions from eschar buildup,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00071599, LF19XX MJC marketing claims report conducted on porcine tissue.

Nonstick nano-coating technology enhances the performance of the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device.
The multifunctional LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device now delivers even greater procedural efficiency.1,2,§
Because — compared to the legacy device — the new nonstick nano-coated jaws:
So you get these benefits in addition to the performance you expect from the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device.
See how our nonstick nano-coating technology enhances the performance of the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device.
We engineered our multifunctional LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device to provide efficiency throughout the procedure.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00071598, Maryland validation labs: Independent surgeon feedback collected during porcine labs in Houston and Los Angeles. April 16 to 18 and April 30 to May 3, 2013.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),§§ Now, we’ve taken that efficiency to the next level — by putting nonstick nano-coating on the jaws.2,§
With the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device you get the benefits of:
The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device delivers5:
The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device is available in three lengths:
The new LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device is designed to help you treat patients — reliably and efficiently.2,§
Because we combined the benefits of nonstick nano-coating technology with the proven performance of LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology.
Nano-coating is a highly controlled, thin-film coating with uniform thickness. It covers the entire jaws of a LigaSure™ device without impacting the intelligent vessel-sealing algorithms of Valleylab™ energy platforms.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00070396 Rev A, Verification of the LF1923/LF1937/LF1944 Maryland devices in a renal bench burst study: iterations Maryland. Nov. 7–10, 2016.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
For the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device, compared to its uncoated counterpart, that means:
The net benefit is smoother, more efficient procedures.2,§
LigaSure™ technology has been setting the standard of care for vessel sealing for nearly two decades.
LigaSure™ technology uses the body’s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent seal that can withstand three times normal systolic blood pressure.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #R0064457, LigaSure™ device renal bench burst pressure evaluation of the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform. May 3, 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) It’s been used in more than 19 million procedures worldwide.([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report #US161132(1), Sales data from FY01 to FY17. July 2017.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),§§§ And is supported by an ever-growing body of clinical evidence.
With an average seal cycle of one to four seconds in most surgical situations,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00025819 Rev A, LigaSure™ device data sources for VLFT10 white papers. September 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) LigaSure™ technology can seal vessels up to and including 7 mm, lymphatics, and tissue bundles. It also eliminates the guesswork — and minimizes thermal spread([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00005503, Verification report: GLP acute animal lab: LigaSure™ device preclinical evaluation of Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform. May 19, 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) — by automatically discontinuing energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete.9
The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw portfolio works great when powered by the ForceTriad™ energy platform with 3.6 software and higher. For optimal performance, use it with the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform.
The Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform makes LigaSure™ devices better than ever.9,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RE00005401 Rev A, Product validation of Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform: surgeon and nurse evaluation in simulated use.
