Abstract:

The latest version of HARMONIC®, the HARMONIC ACE®+7 Shears by Ethicon US, LLC, is now commercially available. While earlier models also had easy-to-use handles and a fine, non-stick tip, the HARMONIC ACE®+7 Shears adds a new hemostasis feature. The "7" in HARMONIC ACE®+7 stands for the device's ability to coagulate and divide 7-mm vessels. This is accomplished via an Advanced Hemostasis Mode and button located on both sides of the handle. The HARMONIC ACE®+7 will prove itself the leader in the ultrasonic energy field.
