About LF1212 LIGASURE SMALL JAW
The LigaSure small jaw sealer/divider (LF1212A), working exclusively with the ForceTriad energy platform, combines TissueFect sensing technology with hand or foot activation and an integrated cutting mechanism to create a multifunctional tissue sealing system that provides consistent, controlled tissue effectAdditional Information:
Curved Jaw for Optimal Sealing EfficiencyThe LF1212 LigaSure Small Jaw features a curved, atraumatic tip that offers a generous 17 mm sealing length. This design maximizes contact with vessels and tissues, ensuring reliable sealing with minimal trauma. The jaw's nano-coating enhances precise dissection and reduces tissue adherence, which streamlines surgical workflow for both open and laparoscopic procedures.
Intuitive Control with 360 RotationWith its fully rotatable 360 shaft and ergonomically designed handle, surgeons can easily maneuver the LF1212 to access challenging anatomical locations. This intuitive control allows for precise vessel targeting and consistent results, whether used in confined spaces or extensive procedures. The integrated cutting blade facilitates clean and efficient tissue division after sealing.
Single-Use Safety and Simple SterilityThe LF1212 is supplied sterile, designed for single-use to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination. Its disposable nature simplifies both surgical preparation and post-procedure cleanup, supporting best practices in infection control. The instrument's shelf life is up to five years unopened, provided it is stored in a cool, dry place.
FAQ's of LF1212 LIGASURE SMALL JAW:
Q: How should the LF1212 LigaSure Small Jaw be used in surgical procedures?
A: The LF1212 LigaSure Small Jaw is intended for vessel sealing and tissue division during both open and laparoscopic surgeries. It is connected to compatible electrosurgical generators like the Valleylab FT10 or ForceTriad and activated through the handle for real-time vessel fusion and dissection.
Q: What vessels can the LF1212 effectively seal
A: This device is capable of sealing vessels up to 7 mm in diameter reliably, ensuring secure and long-lasting fusion for a variety of surgical applications.
Q: When should the LF1212 be disposed of after use?
A: The LF1212 is a single-use, disposable instrument. It should be discarded following established medical waste protocols after completing a surgical procedure to ensure patient safety and compliance.
