What advanced bipolar?
The Advanced Bipolar PK System is an impedance-controlled, bipolar vessel sealing system allowing tissue and device tip to cool in the ‘energy off’ phase, minimising sticking and charring. Reliable seeling of vessels can be achieved for up to and including 7 mm vessels, depending on the instrument used.
What is a bipolar probe?
The bipolar probe consists of alternating bands of electrodes producing an electrical field that heats the mucosa and the vessel. The electrodes are coated with gold to reduce adhesiveness.
What is a PK device?
PK® Technology delivers a proprietary, pulsing ultra-low voltage and high-current RF energy waveform to create a broad range of tissue effects, and allows the tissue and device tip to cool during the “energy off” phase minimizing sticking and charring.
What is Thunderbeat?
THUNDERBEAT is the world’s first integration of both bipolar and ultrasonic energies delivered simultaneously from a single instrument.
Is Gold Probe bipolar?
Gold probe (GP) is a new catheter with bipolar electrocoagulation for peptic ulcer haemorrhage. The method of application is similar to that of conventional multipolar electrocoagulation.
Is Thunderbeat bipolar?
Thunderbeat™ is a device that uses both ultrasonic and advanced bipolar energies to achieve hemostasis.
Is LigaSure bipolar?
LigaSure (bipolar vessel sealing) technology is a radiofrequency-driven bipolar electrosurgical device. A tissue-based feedback program is used to regulate the dose of energy administered, which is appropriate for bulk tissue or vessel density, and the aim is to limit the heat generated in the target tissue.
What is Enseal device?
Designed for use in vessel sealing during open surgical procedures, ENSEAL X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer is an advanced bipolar device that provides better hemostasis, less thermal spread, and improved ergonomics compared to LigaSure Impact™.
What is LigaSure impact?
With the LigaSure Impact™ instrument, surgeons possess an open vessel-sealing tool that integrates ligation with vessel sealing of up to and including 7 mm in diameter, resulting in faster operating times and lower risk for blood loss compared with conventional techniques.
Is bipolar considered cautery?
Bipolar electrosurgery operates regardless of the medium in which it is used, permitting coagulation in a fluid environment – a great advantage when attempting to coagulate in a wet field. As a result, bipolar electrosurgery is often referred to as ‘wet field’ cautery.
