HARMONIC™ 700 Shears with Advanced Hemostasis
HARMONIC™ devices are a leader in Advanced Energy devices and the undisputed ultrasonic leader proven to minimize the impact on tissue with precise energy delivery.1,2A When operating in tight spaces or near critical structures, precise energy delivery becomes vital.
The HARMONIC™ 700 Shears elevate this legacy. Offering the same precision, versatility, and sealing confidence as the HARMONIC ACE™+7 Shears, while integrating improved Adaptive Tissue Technology and advanced temperature management for even better tissue protection3-7B for vessels up to and including 7mm in diameter.3C
About this device
The HARMONIC™ 700 Shears is a sterile, single-use advanced energy ultrasonic device used for general dissection, vessel sealing, back-scoring, otomy creation, mesentery marching, or dissecting in tissue planes. An ergonomic handle and handpiece attachment, ensure control. Advanced hemostasis with two energy delivery buttons allows for increased dissection or coagulation. Choose from three Shaft lengths (23cm, 36cm, or 45cm) tailoring the device to the surgical needs.8
