Valleylab Ligasure Vessel Sealing System

The LigaSure™ vessel sealing system gives you something no other electrosurgical tool can - permanent vessel occlusion. The LigaSure™ system's revolutionary technology replaces almost all other hemostatic tools because it doesn't just ligate vessels, it actually fuses vessel walls to create a permanent seal.

• Provides a combination of pressure and energy to create vessel fusion
• Permanently fuses vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles without dissection or isolation
• Average seal cycle is 2 to 4 seconds
• Seals withstand 3 times normal systolic blood pressure
• Feedback-controlled response system automatically discontinues energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete, eliminating the guesswork

Audio Volume

The stated audio level is for the activation tone and alarm tone at a distance of one meter. Alarm tones meet the requirements of IEC 60601-2-2

Activation Tone

• Volume (adjustable): 45 dB minimum
• Frequency (nominal): Seal Mode – 440 Hz; Macrobipolar Mode – 520 Hz; Bipolar Mode – 660 Hz
• Duration Continuous while the generator is activated; changes to one short tone when seal cycle is complete

Alarm Tone

• Volume (not adjustable): 65 dB minimum
• Frequency: 985 Hz to 780 Hz; 985 Hz nominal

Output Waveform

• Macrobipolar/Bipolar 473 kHz sinusoid, 100% duty cycle
• Seal: 473 kHz sinusoid, pulsed

Frequency Leakage

Low Frequency (50-60 Hz)

Source current, patient leads, all outputs

• Normal polarity, intact ground: < 10 μA
• Normal polarity, ground open: < 50 μA
• Reverse polarity, ground open: < 50 μA
• Sink current at high line, all inputs: < 20 μA

High Frequency (RF)

• Bipolar: < 69 mArms
