Covidien LS0300 Tissue Fusion Footswitch Purple

Covidien LigaSure™ Tissue Fusion Footswitch | LS0300 | Purple

The Covidien LS0300 is the dedicated single-pedal activation solution for the LigaSure™ tissue fusion system. Engineered specifically for use with the ForceTriad™ Energy Platform and the LigaSure™ 8-Port (LS10) Generator, this footswitch allows surgeons to trigger high-frequency bipolar energy delivery without shifting their manual grip on the handpiece.

By offloading the activation to the foot, the LS0300 enhances ergonomic control during complex dissections and ensures that the handpiece remains steady during the critical 2-to-4 second fusion cycle. Its distinctive purple color is more than aesthetic; it serves as a fail-safe visual indicator to ensure the 7-pin connector is plugged into the correct "Purple" receptacle on the generator, preventing cross-activation errors in multi-pedal environments.

Key Specifications

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Ergonomic Precision: Enables "Foot-Activation" mode, allowing the surgeon to maintain a precise manual "squeeze" on the handpiece trigger for mechanical closure while utilizing the foot for energy initiation.

• Robust 7-Pin Communication: The specialized connector provides a dedicated signal path that the generator recognizes instantly, enabling "Plug-and-Play" functionality without manual software configuration.

• Durable Construction: Designed for the high-fluid environment of the operating room, the pedal features a waterproof seal and a weighted base to prevent "walking" or sliding on the OR floor.

• Simplified Workflow: The single-pedal design reduces floor clutter compared to triple-pedal setups, making it ideal for laparoscopic cases where space around the primary surgeon is limited.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Clinical Condition.

• Physical Inspection: This unit shows visible signs of wear consistent with previous surgical use (light scuffing or staining on the cord/pedal), but the structural and electrical integrity remains fully intact.

• Functional Verification: The 7-pin connector pins are straight and free of corrosion; the pedal spring-back tension is firm and responsive.

• Expertise: With over 25 years of experience in Valleylab™ and Covidien energy systems, Primis Medical verifies that all used footswitches are tested for continuity and signal reliability before being offered for sale.
