Main Description
The LigaSure Impact is an open-surgery vessel sealing instrument with a large jaw format for substantial vessels and tissue bundles. It uses the LigaSure tissue fusion process: radiofrequency energy delivered under jaw pressure fuses vessel walls into a seal rated across the family's vessel range. The open instrument format suits procedures where laparoscopic instruments cannot reach or where large pedicles are taken in open fields. It is driven by a compatible Valleylab energy platform per its instructions for use. The instrument is sterile, single use and supplied six per case as listed.
Features and Benefits
- Large jaw capacity – The jaw takes bigger bundles than the standard open instruments, reducing passes on large pedicles.
- Tissue fusion seal – Fused seals replace clip-and-tie sequences on open vessels.
- Open surgery ergonomics – The instrument is shaped for direct open field work rather than adapted from a laparoscopic shaft.

Why Choose This Product
Open cases with large pedicles are where the Impact earns its place. Standard jaws simply take more bites. It keeps open surgery on the same sealing platform as the laparoscopic fleet.
- Bundle capacity – The large jaw is the differentiator, built for the pedicles open surgery presents.
- Platform consistency – One energy platform across open and laparoscopic sealing simplifies the energy program.
- Speed on big tissue – Fewer sealing passes on large bundles shortens the vessel-control phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Impact chosen over the standard open sealer?
It is chosen for open procedures with large vessels and thick tissue bundles, where its large jaw takes the pedicle in fewer applications. Finer work stays with the standard and small jaw instruments.
Does it divide as well as seal?
The LigaSure open instruments seal and divide tissue as part of the fusion cycle per their instructions for use. The IFU for the specific instrument describes its cutting mechanism and ratings.
Is this device sterile and single use?
Yes. It is supplied sterile for single use unless its label states otherwise, and it must not be reprocessed or reused. Check the package integrity and expiry before every case.
How should this device be stored?
