Gwinnett Animal Hospital has recently welcomed a new tool into our surgery suite: the LigaSure. Dr. Connolly and the rest of the veterinary staff did their research, investigated reviews, and determined that the LigaSure would be a great addition to our practice.

            The LigaSure is a technological advance in blood vessel sealing. It works by using the body’s own collagen and elastin to change the nature of the vessel to form a permanent seal.

            Benefits that come with using the LigaSure instead of traditional suture:

• Shorter Surgery Times
• Reduction of blood loss during surgery
• Faster healing times
• Eliminated chances of internal suture reaction

The LigaSure can be used in a variety surgical procedures including:

• Ovariohysterectomy (Spay)
• Ovariectomy
• Orchidectomy (Neuter)
• Splenectomy (Spleen Removal)
• Limb Amputations
• Tumor Removals
