About this device
HARMONIC™ 1100 Shears is a sterile, single-patient-use advanced ultrasonic energy device intended for general dissection, vessel sealing, back-scoring, otomy creation, mesentery marching, or meticulous tissue plane dissection. It features an ergonomic handle, integrated handpiece, and Advanced Hemostasis technology with dual energy-delivery buttons enabling focused dissection or coagulation. Two shaft lengths (20cm and 36cm) provide adaptability across a range of procedures.
Specialties
General, Pediatric, Gynecologic, Urologic, Thoracic
Procedures
Electrosurgery, sealing and transection of lymphatic vessels, and other open and endoscopic procedures
Economic evidence
A recent peer-reviewed publication showed that using HARMONIC™ ultrasonic devices may result in the following reduced annual economic outcomes compared to other advanced energy devices13C:
- OR time costs by over $600K
- Hospital stay costs by over $125K
Clinical and surgical benefits
A meta-analysis comparing the HARMONIC™ scalpel to conventional techniques in gastrectomy for dissection and coagulation found the HARMONIC™ scalpel demonstrated significant reduction in14D:
- Operating time
- Intraoperative blood loss
Features & benefits
Precision
Curved, tapered tip that enables more precise dissection than HARMONIC ACE™+7 Shears.10,12,15E Its unique shape mimics a mechanical dissector and may reduce the need to use a separate dedicated dissecting instrument.10,12,16-18F
Speed
Reduce heat exposure on tissue with transection speeds 35% faster when using the Energy button8-10G and 40% faster when transecting vessels 5-7mm in diameter using Advanced Hemostasis mode.7,10,11,19,20H
Heat control
Achieve greater control with lower maximum blade temperature.11I HARMONIC™ 1100 Shears has an improved Adaptive Tissue Technology algorithm that actively controls blade heat11J, which may protect surrounding tissue and vital structures.
