FYI:
Designed to improve surgical efficiency, Aesculap's Caiman Vessel
Sealers allow for quick tissue transection. The radiofrequency devices,
available with 5mm and 12mm shafts, feature 26.5mm and 50mm jaws
respectively. The Caiman also includes a patented, tip-first jaw-closure
mechanism, which enables uniform tissue compression for clean and con-
sistent seals. The 12mm vessel sealers have 80 degrees for articulation for
improved maneuverability in challenging anatomy.
