The Seal Cycle

This automated system eliminates the guesswork, minimizing seal time and maximizing reliability

• Instant Response™ Technology
  The generator incorporates Valleylab’s patented Instant Response™ technology, a feedback-controlled response system that diagnoses the tissue type in the jaws of the instrument and delivers the appropriate amount of energy to effectively seal the vessel or tissue bundle.
• When the seal cycle is complete, a generator tone sounds and output to the handset is automatically discontinued.
• The seal mechanism uses the body’s own collagen to actually change the nature of the vessel walls and obliterate the lumen.
  The collagen and elastin within the tissue melt and reform to create the seal zone.
  
  Note the photos to the left — the seal does not rely on a proximal thrombus.
