The Department of Veteran Affairs, VHA requires the following items, Purchase Description Determined by Line Item, to the following: SOW/Price Cost schedule Covidien/Valleylab FT10 Platform Bovie The energy platform is an integrated solution for open and laparoscopic electrosurgical procedures. This platform provides the operating room with one energy system for electrosurgical and tissue fusion needs and gives surgeons the ability to deliver precisely controlled energy and improved tissue effect. In the past, operating rooms needed separate pieces of equipment to achieve different tissue effects: monopolar, bipolar and vessel sealing. This unit combines all three into one easy-to-use platform, making setup simpler. It offers the surgeon a wide range of options, including electrosurgical cutting and coagulation, bipolar functionality and LigaSure tissue fusion. The Valleylab FT10 energy platform has optimized vessel sealing performance with LigaSure devices. High-speed, closed-loop control continuously monitors the electrical properties of the tissue and utilizes an advance vessel sealing algorithm to apply a proportionate amount of energy based on composition and size of the vessels being sealed. This reduces the need for manual bar settings on the Valleylab FT10 generator. SPECIFICATIONS Physical Weight & Dimensions: Height: 25.5 cm (10 in.) Width: 45.8 cm (18 in.) Depth: 50.8 cm (20 in.)
