Real-World Examples of the Successful Use of a Vessel Sealing Device in Veterinary Surgery

Advancements in technology have revolutionized various industries, and veterinary medicine is no exception. One groundbreaking innovation transforming veterinary surgical procedures is the vessel sealing device. The Voyant Vessel Sealer from VetOvation has gained popularity in veterinary surgery due to its effectiveness, precision, and convenience across different types of procedures. For veterinary professionals looking to streamline operations in their practice, here are some of the many successful uses of a vessel sealing device in veterinary surgery.

What is A Vessel Sealing Device?

A vessel sealing device is an electrosurgical instrument that uses advanced technology to seal blood vessels during surgical procedures. The Voyant Vessel Sealer from VetOvation uses radiofrequency energy to seal vessels, rather than manual ligatures or cautery.

Vessel Sealing Devices Can:

  • Ensure a clear operating plane with less visible blood, debris or char.
  • Minimize the risk of bleeding complications (hemorrhaging)
  • Reduce surgery time
  • Avoid damaging nearby tissue and organs

Real-World Uses for Vessel Sealing Devices in Vet Clinics

Vessel sealing devices are among the most versatile in veterinary equipment, enabling their use in a wide array of surgical procedures. By reducing surgery time and providing secure hemostasis, vessel sealers contribute to shorter recovery periods and improved outcomes for common routine procedures.

Spay and Neuter Procedures

Spaying and neutering surgeries are among the most commonly performed procedures in veterinary medicine. The Voyant Vessel Sealer has proven to be highly effective in these surgeries, offering precise and rapid sealing of blood vessels during the removal of reproductive organs.

Orthopedic Surgeries

Orthopedic surgeries in animals often involve intricate procedures that require precise tissue handling and meticulous hemostasis. Whether it’s a fracture repair or joint surgery, these devices provide reliable vessel sealing, enabling veterinarians to focus on the intricate aspects of the procedure with confidence.

Tumor Resection

Tumor removal surgeries in veterinary medicine can be challenging, as they often involve delicate tissues and a complex network of blood vessels. Vessel sealing devices not only save time but also improve overall surgical outcomes by minimizing blood loss and trauma to surrounding healthy tissues and facilitating faster healing.
