These interchangeable tools can be used to grasp, retract, manipulate, cut, coagulate and deliver Hem-o-lok¿ ligating clips to soft tissue. Each Percuvance System Handle includes an integrated male cautery adapter that can be connected to most monopolar electrosurgical units (ESU) via a standard 4mm monopolar cable.
