Short Overview

The ENSEAL® G2 Articulating Tissue Sealer is a sterile, single patient use surgical instrument used to coagulate and transect vessels up to and including 7mm in diameter and tissue and/or vascular bundles. This device is for soft tissue only. The instrument consists of a grip housing assembly, a rotating and articulating shaft either 35cm or 45cm in length, a moveable jaw and an I-BLADE® in the jaws. The instrument shaft can be rotated to facilitate visualization and enable easy access to targeted tissue. The instrument shaft, normally in the straight position, can be articulated using the articulation wheel to gain additional access to tissue and facilitate additional angles across tissue and/or vascular bundles.

The jaws are in a normally opened position and can be partially or fully closed by squeezing the closing handle. The jaws have atraumatic teeth for grasping and holding targeted tissue when clamped. Bipolarenergy is delivered to the clamped tissue when the energy activation button is pressed. Fully squeezing the closing handle advances the I-BLADE® the length of the jaws, and the targeted tissue is compressed, coagulated, and transected. The I-BLADE® cannot be advanced to transect tissue without first fully depressing the energy activation button. The power cord is permanently attached to the device and connects the instrument to the generator. The ENSEAL® G2 Articulating Tissue Sealer is designed for use exclusively with the Generator G11 (GEN11), packaged separately. Dimensions: Jaw Length, Straight: 20mm, Jaw Length, Curved: 19mm, Shaft Length: 35cm from Jaw Tip to Shaft Rotation Knob or 45cm from Jaw Tip to Shaft Rotation Knob, Shaft Diameter: 5mm
