Long Vessel Sealing Instrument by Aesculap. Caiman 5mm devices feature a 26.5mm sealing length and 23.5mm cutting length – one third longer than any other vessel sealer on the market. All Caiman vessel sealing devices are FDA approved to coagulate and cut vessels up to 7mm in diameter. The shaft of the instrument is designed for veterinary use at 12cm perfect for open procedures. Many veterinary practices using EtO or H2O2 gas sterilization have found the equipment to be long lasting and affordable for every day use. The hinged jaw and tip-first closure facilitates capturing large amounts of tissue quickly and efficiently for coagulation and cutting.
The Caiman 5 Vessel Sealing platform is designed for a variety of laparoscopic and open procedures and can accommodate a wide range of patient sizes based on shaft length.
Benefits
Longest Jaw
Caiman 5 has a 26.5 mm sealing length and the longest jaw of any 5 mm RF device available, allowing for heightened efficiency for surgical procedures. The 26.5 mm jaw allows veterinary surgeons to seal and cut 30% more tissue at a time compared to other 5 mm vessel sealing devices.
Uniform Tissue Compression
Caiman Vessel Sealers feature a proprietary hinged jaw. The lower jaw hinge causes the tip of the instrument to close first, capturing tissue and preventing slippage. This unique design then allows the upper and lower jaws to compress tissue in parallel, creating uniform compression forces distal to proximal. The result is a secure and consistent seal surgeons can rely on.
