  ThermoStapler®  time oriented performance  1 time oriented performance “Medicine usually requires the art of timing.” Ovid The ThermoStapler® vessel sealing system enables permanent sealing of large blood vessels and tissues during open and laparoscopic surgery. The ThermoStapler® system, designed by EMED, is an alternative to the traditional vessel sealing method using many ligatures and  staplers. ThermoStapler® system is based on modern bipolar technique. It enables reliable vessel sealing and minimises the patient’s blood loss during the procedure. As a result, less time for blood...

2  ThermoStapler®  ThermoStapler® versus bipolar technique   thermostapler® versus bipolar technique ThermoStapler® versus bipolar technique confidence through technology Bipolar technique While bipolar technique is being used, high frequency current flows between the two ends of the bipolar instrument and focuses solely on the small surface of tissue placed between them. The risk of burns at sites distant from the surgical field is thus minimised. Therefore, bipolar techniques are considered safer than the monopolar modes. Bipolar coagulation and ThermoStapler® — range of applications...

ThermoStapler® the idea behind The combination of high temperature and mechanical pressure causes shrinkage of collagen tissue. Under the influence of high temperature, collagen changes its structure and becomes a very durable sealer. Vessels closed with the use of the ThermoStapler® system are capable of withholding significant blood pressure. The efficiency of coagulation, and thus the safety of vessel sealing, is significantly affected by the condition of the used instrument. The sealing effect is proportional to tissue resistance. Any contamination or tissue residues on the surface of...

To get through a successful operating procedure is always a matter of both — a medical team and instruments the surgeon can relay on. The rule is to pick out instruments in the same way as surgical team, by choosing those that ensure smooth running of any procedure...

applications areas of ThermoStapler® application ThermoStapler® is widely used for resections (partial or total) of tumours and organs. It allows a quick and effective sealing of whole bundles of vessels, which are then cut with surgical scissors. Removing a tumour, an organ or a part  of it, is quick and bears no risk of haemorrhage. The operated area remains  dry almost throughout the entire procedure. General Surgery Tools for open surgery Laparoscopic tools Thyroid resection Parotid gland resection Stomach resection (partial or total) Small intestine resection Colon resection...
