Why Vessel Sealing?
A Vessel Sealing Spay can be performed in
a typical open or laparoscopic setting, with
numerous benefits compared to a traditional
spay.
Vessel Sealing, with LigaSure™ technology
is used worldwide in human and animal
surgeries. It allows veterinarians to separate
and seal internal vessels and tissues in one
step, effectively reducing the trauma and
extended recovery associated with traditional
scalpel and suture techniques.
Less Trauma, Less Pain
Faster Recovery
