Product overviewLigapro ® VS Maryland jaw is a hand‑activated vessel sealing device designed to seal and dissect vessels up to and including 7 mm, lymphatics and tissue bundles. The Maryland jaw provides improved access and visualization for blunt dissection while enabling grasping, cutting and reliable vessel sealing.
Key functional detailsThe device applies uniform pressure via a spring‑loaded handle and advanced micro blockers in the jaw. It integrates a mechanical inbuilt blade actuated by a single‑action trigger to transect tissue without exchanging instruments. A multi‑layer proprietary jaw and non‑stick coating reduce cool‑off time, limit lateral thermal spread and minimize tissue adherence. Outer jaw insulation reduces risk of unintended thermal injury; inner jaw serrations secure tissue during manipulation. Ergonomic lightweight design and 360° shaft rotation enable precise jaw placement.
Performance and technologyLigapro ® VS is compatible with STROM ® 2.0 vessel sealing generators. Average seal cycle with STROM ® 2.0: 2–4 seconds. Feedback‑controlled Smart Tissue Sensing Technology™ continuously measures tissue impedance and automatically terminates energy delivery at seal completion to produce consistent, pliable seals.
Enhanced performance highlights- Hand activation only with STROM ® 2.0 systems.
- Average seal cycle 2–4 seconds (with STROM ® 2.0).
- Feedback‑controlled Smart Tissue Sensing Technology™ for automatic seal termination.
- Continuous tissue impedance measurement for optimized energy delivery and consistent seals.
Reasons to choose Ligapro ® VS- Multifunctional: seal, grasp, cut and dissect with a single instrument.
- Reduced instrument exchanges via inbuilt mechanical blade and inset activation button.
- Spring‑loaded handle and micro blockers ensure consistent jaw pressure.
- Spring‑controlled mechanical blade movement for efficient transection.
- Multi‑layer jaw design and non‑stick coating to minimize thermal spread and eschar.
- Atraumatic curved tapered Maryland tip for safe blunt dissection.
- Proprietary outer jaw insulation to prevent unintended tissue injury.
- Ergonomic, lightweight handle to reduce user fatigue.
- Advanced serrations to prevent tissue or vessel slippage.
- 360° shaft rotation for accurate jaw orientation and access.
Available length combinations- 37 cm — laparoscopic procedures.
- 23 cm — VATS and pediatric procedures.
- 13 cm — open procedures.
