Ligasure Mode - Covidien ForceTriad Service Manual

Power Modes

LigaSure Mode

The LigaSure tissue-fusion mode can be used on arteries, veins, pulmonary vasculature,
and lymphatics up to and including 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles. This system
provides precise energy delivery and electrode pressure to vessels for a controlled time
period to achieve a complete and permanent fusion of the vessel lumen. The system has
been designed to produce minimal sticking, charring, or thermal spread to adjacent
tissue.
Warning
Do not attempt to fuse lung tissue with LigaSure mode or instruments.
LigaSure Instruments
The LigaSure instruments that complete the ForceTriad tissue-fusion system include
multiple reusable and single-use instruments for open and laparoscopic procedures. Each
reusable instrument requires a corresponding single-use electrode. The LigaSure function
is available only when using LigaSure instruments.
