LigaSure Impact™ sealer-divider with nano-coating
<p>The LigaSure Impact™ is a multifunctional tissue fusion system for open procedures, with an integrated cutting mechanism and a 36mm long jaw curved 14 degrees.<sup>1</sup></p>
Features
Vessel sealing technology you can count on
The LigaSure Impact™ sealer-divider can grasp, seal, and cut tissue independently — or you can perform all three in one step. The device’s large jaws also:
Enable fast transection2
Minimize the need for multiple activations‡,3
Facilitate procedural efficiency2
But the latest innovation comes from the nonstick coating on the LigaSure Impact™ device jaws. Compared to our legacy device, the nonstick coating:
Reduces sticking by 67%4
Reduces eschar buildup by 50%§,5
Results in fewer cleanings,◊,5
Makes cleaning more efficient◊,¶,5
The end result is a smoother procedure — for surgeons and patients.
Comfortable feel in your hands
The LigaSure Impact™ device is lightweight and comfortable to use, and the activation button is ergonomically positioned.2 It’s designed to optimize performance across a range of specialties, including:
Urology
Colorectal
General surgery
Gynecology
The jaws of the LigaSure Impact™ device also facilitate access because they follow the curve of the stomach and uterus.#,2
