1 ESSENTIAL ENERGY FOR PROVEN PATIENT OUTCOMES LigaSure Curved Jaw Device

2 GRASP. SEAL. AND CUT. WITH ONE DEVICE. Let s move beyond mechanical ligation to a higher level of performance in open surgery The three essential elements you need grasping, sealing, and cutting 1 come together in the LigaSure curved jaw device. Plus you get the proven benefits of LigaSure technology in a reposable device that is easy to use and cost effective. 2 What is LigaSure technology? LigaSure vessel-sealing technology uses the body s own collagen and elastin to create a permanent seal that can withstand three times normal systolic blood pressure. 3,4 It s supported by more than 1,000 peer-reviewed clinical studies. And has been used in more than 8 million procedures worldwide. * What does it do? With an average seal cycle of 2-4 seconds in most surgical situations, 5 this groundbreaking technology can seal 5 : Vessels up to and including 7 mm Lymphatics Tissue bundles And it eliminates the guesswork with a feedbackcontrolled response system that automatically discontinues energy delivery when the seal cycle is complete. 5 * Based on internal data derived from IRC clinical study research completed on January 22, 2014 and sales research completed on July 9, 2013; US140237

3 Disposable electrode Provides sealing independent of cutting 2 and slides easily into place Two-part reposable instrument Reusable clamp and disposable single-use electrode minimizes waste 2 compared with single-use devices Ergonomic design fits a broad range of hand sizes 2 Integrated cutting blade Hemostat-style reusable clamp Allows for excellent and precise control 2 Familiar grip makes the instrument easy to use 2 Gives you control to cut only when you want to 1 Leads to fewer instrument exchanges and potential time savings 2 Inline activation button The first click indicates the end of the grasp zone and a second click indicates energy activation Activate and hold the device in different positions with one hand 2

4 REDUCTIONS THAT ADD UP LigaSure technology is proven to reduce procedure time, hospital stay, blood loss, and transfusions compared to traditional ligation. 6,7,8 This may result in: Better clinical outcomes for your patients 42% LESS Cost savings for your hospital 61% LESS TIME IN THE OR 6,7,9 When using LigaSure technology, compared to traditional ligation BLOOD LOSS 6,7 When using LigaSure technology, compared to traditional ligation LESS PAIN FOR PATIENTS 9 Patients experienced less pain when used * * Pain was evaluated 12 hours after surgery using a visual analog scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain) FEWER BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS 7, 8 There is a reduction in blood transfusions, compared to traditional ligation 60% SHORTER HOSPITAL STAY 6,9 When using LigaSure technology, compared to traditional ligation From 3 days to 1.2 days

5 THE SURGICAL EXPERIENCE. VOICES FROM THE OR. Constant collaboration and an unwavering dedication to meet your surgical needs always for the benefit of patients. That s how our LigaSure curved jaw device came to be. And here s what surgeons are saying about it: I was extremely surprised by the lightness of the instrument, the efficiency of the grasping function, the perfectly adequate length of the jaws, allowing the instrument to take whatever has to be taken during a hysterectomy, and finally, by the ease of the cutting step, which follows extremely short sealing times. Dr. Henri Clavé, GYN surgeon, France I can say that the instrument was very ergonomic and easy to use. The sealing system allowed me to perform surgery with less blood loss and less operating time. Dr. Carlos Anwandter, GYN/oncology surgeon, Chile It is very comfortable to use, nice ergonomics, easy to learn how to use it. The results were very satisfactory. The patient had very little bleeding and surgical time was significantly shortened compared to conventional surgery. The recovery was quite fast, which I believe was due to the shorter anesthetic time and reduced blood loss. Dr. Miguel Lagos, Urology surgeon, Chile
