Laparoscopic Bipolar Vessel Sealer Cutter 5mm/330mm

Listing ID #6915488

Laparoscopic vessel sealer cutter, also known as a vessel sealing device (VSD) or laparoscopic energy device, is a specialized instrument used in laparoscopic surgery to simultaneously seal and cut blood vessels or tissue. It combines the functions of vessel sealing and tissue dissection into a single instrument, providing efficiency and precision during surgical procedures. Here's how a laparoscopic vessel sealer cutter is used:

1. Patient Preparation: The patient is positioned appropriately for the laparoscopic procedure and placed under general anesthesia.
2. Trocar Placement: Trocars (hollow tubes) are inserted into the abdominal cavity through small incisions to provide access for the laparoscopic instruments, including the vessel sealer cutter.
3. Instrument Insertion: The laparoscopic vessel sealer cutter is inserted through one of the trocar ports, controlled by the surgeon from outside the patient's body.
4. Tissue Grasping: The surgeon maneuvers the jaws of the vessel sealer cutter to grasp the blood vessel or tissue that needs to be sealed and cut.
5. Sealing: Once the tissue is properly grasped, the vessel sealer cutter activates its bipolar energy function. The instrument applies a combination of pressure and energy, such as radiofrequency or ultrasonic energy, to the tissue between the jaws. This causes the vessel walls to heat up, denature, and fuse together, creating a sealed section and preventing bleeding.
6. Cutting: After sealing the vessel, the vessel sealer cutter has an integrated blade that cuts through the sealed tissue. The surgeon can activate the cutting mechanism, typically by pressing a button or lever on the instrument, to separate the sealed vessel or tissue from the surrounding area.
7. Repeat as Needed: The above steps are repeated for each blood vessel or tissue that requires sealing and cutting during the laparoscopic procedure.

The laparoscopic vessel sealer cutter provides the advantage of efficient and reliable vessel sealing while minimizing the need for additional instruments, reducing procedural time and improving surgical outcomes. It is commonly used in various laparoscopic procedures, including colorectal surgery, gynecologic surgery, and general surgery. However, it is important for surgeons to receive proper training and follow manufacturer instructions to ensure safe and effective use of the vessel sealer cutter.
