Abstract

A Novel Advanced Bipolar Tissue Sealer Provides Improved Hemostasis and Less Thermal Damage

Highlights

  • The use of advanced bipolar instruments for ligation and division of vessels has been steadily increasing in recent years [1]

  • As with previous versions of ENSEAL, coagulation of tissues is achieved via the application of bipolar electrosurgery to compressed tissue

  • The length of electrode beyond the knife, i.e., the area where a seal can extend beyond the cutline, is 0.66 mm greater for X1 than LigaSure ImpactTM Open Instrument (LI)

Summary

Introduction

The use of advanced bipolar instruments for ligation and division of vessels has been steadily increasing in recent years [1]. Devices such as the ENSEAL® G2 Super Jaw Tissue Sealer are dedicated bipolar electrosurgical instruments intended for use during open surgery to divide and seal vessels, and cut, grasp and dissect tissue during surgery. These devices are cleared for soft tissue coagulation and are used in a wide variety of general, gynecologic, urologic, thoracic, and vascular procedures. A recently introduced device with improved ergonomics, the ENSEAL® X1 Large Jaw (X1) was compared to another commercially-available advanced bipolar device
