Intended Use

The LigaSure™ Open Dissector Divider is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use with the LigaSure Generator in open, general and gynecologic surgical procedures where ligation and division of vessels is desired. This device creates ligation by application of bipolar electrosurgical RF energy and pressure to vessels/tissue interposed between the jaws of the device. The ligation can then be transected using the built in cutting mechanism. The device can be used for vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles as large as will fit into the jaws of the instrument. Indications for use include general, open procedures including urologic, vascular, thoracic, and plastic and reconstructive, procedures where dissection, ligation and division of vessels are performed such as: spleenectomies, thryoidectomies, nephrectomies, prostatectomies, bowel resection and colectorny, The LigaSure Vessel Sealing System has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.

Device Story

Bipolar electrosurgical instrument for open surgery; used with LigaSure Vessel Sealing Generator. Device clamps tissue/vessels up to 7mm diameter between jaws; applies RF energy and pressure to create hemostatic seal; mechanical cutting mechanism divides tissue. Operated by surgeon via device button or footswitch. Connects to generator via 10-foot cable with 'smart' connector for automatic instrument identification. Single-use, sterile device. Provides surgeons with integrated dissection, sealing, and division capabilities; reduces need for multiple instruments; improves procedural efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and preclinical study performed to verify design specifications and functional performance. No clinical trial data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Bipolar electrosurgical instrument; 10-foot cable with 'smart' connector for generator identification; mechanical cutting mechanism; single-use; sterile. Operates via RF energy delivery.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing open general, urologic, vascular, thoracic, and plastic/reconstructive surgical procedures requiring vessel/tissue ligation and division. Contraindicated for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation procedures.

The LigaSure™ Open Dissector Divider (catalog number LS4100) is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed devices: - For configuration, sealing and dissection capabilities the LS4100 is . substantially equivalent to the Valleylab LS1200 LigaSure™ Precise Instrument (K010010) - For cutting capabilities, the LS4100 is substantially equivalent to the Valleylab . LS1500 LigaSure™ 5mm Laparoscopic Sealer-Divider Instrument (K031011) ## 4. Device Description The LigaSure Open Dissector Divider is a multi-functional, electrosurgical instrument intended for use with the LigaSure Vessel Sealing Generator (K981916) when performing open surgery. The instrument is capable of sealing and dividing vessels and tissue clamped between its jaws, grasping tissue, and dissection. Sealing of vessels and tissue containing vessels can be activated {1}------------------------------------------------ Page ② of 2 using the activation button on the device or via a footswitch. The instru incorporates a mechanical cutting mechanism that divides tissue. The instrument attaches to the LigaSure™ generator with a ten (10) foot cable and a "smart" connector that identifies the instrument type to the generator. The instrument is supplied sterile for single-use. #### 5.
