The LAM‑2439 LigaSure Reusable Vessel Sealing Forceps is a surgeon’s instrument designed for controlled vessel and tissue sealing during open or laparoscopic procedures. With a 2.5 cm sealing surface, it can engage a meaningful span of tissue in one application, making it efficient for sealing small to medium vessels or tissue bundles. Its length of roughly 8‑3/4 inches gives a balance between reach and ergonomic handling at the operative site.

Because the instrument is reusable, it is constructed with robust materials and insulation to withstand multiple sterilization cycles. The electrical design is likely bipolar, meaning current passes between the jaws, concentrating energy in the tissue between them. LigaSure’s technology typically features real‑time feedback—assessing tissue impedance and adjusting energy delivery to ensure consistent sealing while avoiding overheating. This helps achieve reliable seals with minimal lateral thermal spread into adjacent tissues.

Operationally, the LAM‑2439 offers surgeons precise control and confidence in vessel management. Its reusable design can reduce instrument waste and cost over multiple procedures. In practice, when clamped around a vessel, energy is delivered in pulses until a seal is achieved, at which point tissue coagulation effectively fuses the vessel walls. The use of such forceps is common in general surgery, gynecology, urology, and other specialties where safe, efficient vessel ligation is needed.

These surgical instruments have been previously used and show visible signs of wear consistent with their prior usage. Despite these signs, they remain in a usable condition, suitable for continued medical procedures.
