Covidien Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform Electrosurgical Generator

The Covidien Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform is an advanced electrosurgical generator designed for use with compatible monopolar, bipolar, and vessel-sealing instruments in operating room and surgical environments.

The FT10 platform is designed to support a wide range of surgical energy applications, including electrosurgical cutting, coagulation, bipolar procedures, and advanced vessel sealing with compatible Valleylab and LigaSure devices. Medtronic describes the FT10 as an electrosurgical generator that drives monopolar and bipolar devices and uses TissueFect™ sensing technology to adjust energy output.

The system features a simplified touchscreen interface designed to support efficient setup and operation during procedures. Its software-upgradeable platform, Ethernet connectivity, bipolar cable compensation, and automatic power settings help support consistent electrosurgical output with compatible accessories.

Compared with previous-generation systems, the FT10 platform is designed for improved electrosurgical performance, including faster sealing performance with compatible LigaSure instruments and improved monopolar and bipolar functionality, depending on the connected accessories and system configuration.

With a compact footprint and approximate weight of 10.1 kg, the FT10 is suitable for integration into operating rooms, surgical centers, and specialty procedure environments. Medtronic lists the unit dimensions as 36.8 cm wide, 46.2 cm deep, and 17.8 cm high.
