strumectomy
with the use of ThermoStapler®
Collar skin incision. Coagulation of subcutaneous blood vessels with the use of bipolar forceps. Separating the muscles in order to provide access to the thyroid gland.
Sealing thyroid vessels with the use of ThermoStapler®. Cutting the vessels with the scissors.
Resection of the thyroid gland.
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.
main advantages
- physical pressure onto the vessel with the use of a special bipolar instrument
- a generator administering high frequency and low voltage current which does not cause sparks during the sealing process
- constant monitoring of the tissue impedance during the process of sealing
- microprocessor control ensuring the repeated coagulation effect
- automatic switch-off of the generator at the moment of achieving the optimal sealing of the vessel, confirmed with a sound signal
- the possibility to select the level of intensity of the effect lower intensity means higher precision and depth of the coagulation, higher intensity means quicker final effect
- the possibility to connect two different ThermoStapler® instruments or to combine the vessel sealing technique with a traditional bipolar technique
