Intended Use

The CoolSeal™ Reveal is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use in open surgical procedures in adults and pediatrics where ligation and division of vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics is desired. The CoolSeal™ Reveal can be used on vessels (arteries and veins) up to and including 6 mm in diameter. It is indicated for use in general surgery and in such surgical specialties as urologic, thoracic, plastic, and reconstructive. Procedures may include but are not limited to, bowel resections, gall bladder procedures, Nissen fundoplication, and adhesiolysis. The CoolSeal™ Reveal is also indicated for open ENT procedures in adults (thyroidectomy, radical neck dissection, and parotidectomy) for ligation and division of vessels, lymphatics and tissue bundles 2-3 mm away from unintended thermally-sensitive structures such as nerves and parathyroid glands. The CoolSeal™ Reveal has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use the CoolSeal™ Reveal for these procedures.

Device Story

CoolSeal Reveal is a sterile, single-use, hand-held bipolar electrosurgical instrument for open surgery. Used by surgeons in ORs. Device features 5 mm shaft, 10 cm length, and curved Maryland-style rotating jaw. Input: RF energy from CoolSeal Generator applied to tissue/vessels between jaws. Operation: surgeon grasps tissue, activates RF via finger button for sealing, then uses manual trigger to actuate internal blade for division. Output: sealed and divided vessels/tissue bundles up to 6 mm. Benefits: provides hemostasis and tissue dissection; enables ligation near thermally-sensitive structures (nerves/parathyroid glands) in ENT procedures. Device includes automatic sealing cycle.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing included ex-vivo/in-vivo vessel burst pressure testing on porcine models to verify sealing performance. In-vivo thermal spread comparison via histological assessment (length, width, depth) demonstrated safety comparable to predicate. Chronic animal study (23-day duration) confirmed maintained hemostasis and anticipated healing without complications.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: stainless steel, titanium, polymers, silicone, polymer adhesives, insulating coatings. Energy: Bipolar RF (190 Vpeak, 30W max). Form factor: 5 mm shaft, 10 cm length, 335° jaw rotation. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity: Connects to CoolSeal Generator.

Indications for Use

Indicated for ligation and division of vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics in open surgical procedures. Patient population: adults and pediatrics for general surgery; adults for ENT procedures (thyroidectomy, radical neck dissection, parotidectomy). Contraindicated for tubal sterilization/coagulation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
