Covidien ValleyLab FX8

Covidien ValleyLab FX8 Features

The Covidien Valleylab FX8 is an energy source controlled by an electrosurgical unit. The Valleylab FX8 energy platform is powered by TissueTect, a tissue-sensing technology that can adjust based on the type of tissue it detects. The FX8 is the predecessor to the Medtronic Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform. The Valleylab energy source offers cut, coag, and soft coag modes. Additionally, the energy source provides shared coag, which allows two surgeons to work simultaneously on the same patient.

• Valleylab mode provides a unique combination of monopolar hemostasis and division
• TissueFect technology to ensure the precise energy is delivered for the correct type of tissue
• shared coag mode allows for two surgeons to work at once on a patient
• Precise delivery of monopolar and bipolar energy
• Power control during monopolar energy delivery that’s five times better than the Force Triad Energy Platform
• Tissue monitoring that’s 2600 times faster than the Force FX Electrosurgical Generator
