How vessel sealing works
Vessel-sealing workflows combine controlled bipolar energy with mechanical pressure from a compatible instrument. Generator and instrument operate as a system, so the exact host platform, instrument interface and approved configuration must be confirmed together.
Vessel sealing versus standard bipolar coagulation
Both approaches use bipolar electrical energy, but a dedicated vessel-sealing workflow is defined by the combined generator-and-instrument configuration used to control energy delivery and compression. Performance specifications are system-specific and should be taken from the applicable product documentation.
What matters when comparing vessel-sealing systems
Review host-platform compatibility, instrument length and jaw geometry, intended access approach, activation method, service support and market-specific documentation. ReinnoVet ultrasonic blade tips are reusable. Do not assume that instruments are interchangeable across generators.

Questions and Answers
Frequently asked questions
Can any vessel-sealing instrument be used with any electrosurgical generator?
No. Vessel-sealing instruments and host generators must be confirmed as compatible for the exact configuration before quotation and use.
Is vessel sealing the same as standard bipolar coagulation?
They are related bipolar-energy workflows, but dedicated vessel sealing depends on a compatible generator-and-instrument system designed for that function.
What should be compared between vessel-sealing instruments?
Compare host-platform compatibility, access approach, instrument and jaw geometry, activation method, workflow requirements and the specifications stated in the applicable product documentation.
