Description:
 A multifunctional nano-coated instrument designed for sealing pulmonary veins and arteries up to — and including — 7 mm1–5
Reliable vessel-sealing technologyTailored for Thoracic Surgery
The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic sealer/divider is part of our commitment to transforming lung care
It’s the first — and only — minimally invasive LigaSure™ device designed for VATS procedures and indicated for sealing pulmonary veins and arteries up to and including 7 mm.
The multifunctional LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device complements thoracic procedures by providing:
One-step vessel sealing
Enhanced blunt dissection
Secure, atraumatic grasping
Cold cutting independent of sealing
The LigaSure™ Technology Difference
Reliable LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology drives the LigaSure™ thoracic device. It works by using the body’s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent seal that is designed to withstand three times normal pulmonary systolic blood pressure.
Plus, LigaSure™ technology eliminates the guesswork — and minimizes thermal spread — by automatically discontinuing energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete.
Optimized jaw pressure for sealing pulmonary vasculature11
Although visually unchanged from the original
LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device, the jaw pressure of the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device has been optimized for pulmonary vessels by narrowing the specifications of two proprietary jaw parameters.
LigaSure™ technology provides a unique combination of pressure and energy to denature collagen and elastin within the vessel — giving you a permanent, reliable seal.
Seal pulmonary veins and arteriesup to and including 7 mm in diameter — with confidence1
Comparing the LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device to our original LigaSure™ Maryland jaw device
Physiologically Different :
Significantly lower blood pressure
Thinner, less muscular, and more elastic walls
Inherently Complex :
Vascular morphology and elasticity of pulmonary arteries varies throughout the pulmonary system
Pulmonary veins have more collagen
content than pulmonary arteries
These variations highlighted the need to evaluate ourdevices differently, which led to design changes to our LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device.
Compared to systemic vasculature, pulmonary vessels are:
Powered by our most advanced energy platform
The LigaSure™ Maryland jaw thoracic device is only compatible with the Valleylab™ FT10 generator because it:
Makes LigaSure™ devices better — and faster12,
Reads tissue 434,000 times per second and automatically adjusts energy output to maintain the desired clinical effect13
 

In 1999, we revolutionized surgery with the introduction of LigaSure™ vessel-sealing technology — and we didn’t stop there. Our latest innovation, the LigaSure™ curved jaw device*, brings proven LigaSure™ technology to a reposable device that is both easy to use and cost effective. 

Let’s put the most innovative tools in your hands. And let’s put patients first and work together to redefine the standard of care with LigaSure™ technology in open surgery.

LigaSure™ technology:

• provides control, confidence and consistent vessel sealing1
• is supported by more than 1,000 peer-reviewed clinical studies and has been used in more than 10 million procedures worldwide.
• has been shown to significantly reduce post-op pain, length of hospital stay and blood loss compared to alternative ligation methods3,4,5,6

LigaSure™ technology helps manage costs by significantly reducing procedure time and patients’ hospital stay4,7,8
Features a reusable clamp along with a disposable single-use electrode to minimize waste compared with single-use devices9

The clamp-like design feels familiar in your hand. It is intuitive for surgeons without previous LigaSure™ experience and allows for excellent control.
Combining the essential elements of surgery: grasping, sealing and cutting, the exchange of instruments is minimized as compared to mechanical ligation.

Reliable technology. More efficient patient care.
We’re raising the bar on the standard of care in vessel sealing. The nonstick coating on the jaws of the LigaSure Impact™ device delivers the reliable performance of LigaSure™ technology — with greater efficiency and fewer procedural interruptions.1
Overcoming clinical challenges
Eschar buildup can cause jaws to stick, affect device performance, and require multiple cleanings that disrupt procedural flow. Our coated jaws help to solve this problem, and bring the value of greater efficiency to the OR — for patients, physicians, and the healthcare industry. 
Features:
Less sticking. Easier cleaning. Greater efficiency.
 
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 activations2
Facilitate procedural efficiency2
But the latest innovation comes from the nonstick coating on the LigaSure Impact™ device jaws. Because compared to our legacy device, the nonstick coating:
Reduces sticking by 67%
Reduces eschar buildup by 50%
Results in fewer cleanings
Makes cleaning more efficient
The end result is a smoother procedure — for surgeons and patients.
Comfortable feel in your hands
The LigaSure Impact™ device is lightweight, 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.

In your hands, our energy solutions have been setting the standard of patient care for nearly 50 years. But the challenges of today’s healthcare system demand we go further — with technologies that bring even greater efficiency to procedures.
That’s why we created the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook laparoscopic instrument. The only device of its kind, it delivers the benefits of1:
Precise Valleylab™ monopolar dissection
One-step LigaSure™ vessel sealing
Atraumatic grasping1 
Cold cutting
Maryland-style blunt dissection
And that’s why the LigaSure™ L-hook instrument:

Makes fewer instrument exchanges possible
May reduce the need for
an additional grasper
additional cold scissors
additional dissecting instruments
additional monopolar laparoscopic electrodes
Easy to use
Surgeons who tested the instrument say the actions to grasp, seal, cut, deploy, and retract the Valleylab™ monopolar L-hook are simple and intuitive.1
Simply press a lever on the handle to deploy the L-hook — and deliver the precision of Valleylab™ monopolar dissection. When you’re ready to switch back to the Maryland jaws, just press the lever to retract the L-hook.3
The speed of one-step vessel sealing
The Maryland-style jaws of the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument: 
Deliver improved access to targeted tissues compared to straight jaw devices — even in tight spaces2£ 
Provide the ability to follow the curvature of the uterus/stomach2†
Allow for easy skeletonization of vessels2†
And you get the speed and reliable performance of LigaSure™ vessel sealing technology.
Precise dissection at your fingertips
The LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument:
Provides precise, versatile, and effective energy dissection2†
Provides the ability to create an otomy (gastrotomy and enterotomy)3
And the L-hook is there when you need it, and out of the way when you don’t. 
We’re redefining versatility. So you can keep your focus on the surgical site and protect patients from the risks of multiple instrument exchanges.
Because the LigaSure™ retractable L-hook instrument combines the functionality of five devices in one. And gives you the reliable performance of both LigaSure™ technology
