## Indications for use
The Aragon Surgical Telco Instrument is a dedicated bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use in general surgical and gynecologic procedures where ligation and division of vessels is desired. The instrument creates a seal by the application of bipolar electrosurgical RF energy (coagulation) to vascular structure (vessels) interposed between the jaws of the device. A cutting blade is actuated for the division of tissue. The indications for use include general surgical procedures (including urologic, vascular, thoracic, and thoracoscopic), and gynecologic surgery procedures where ligation and division of vessels is performed. These procedures include: vaginal hysterectomies, Nissen fundoplication, colectomy, adhesiolysis, bowel resections and oophorectomy etc., or any procedure where vessel ligation (cutting and sealing), tissue grasping, and dissection is performed. The device can be used on vessels up to and including 7mm and bundles as large as will fit in the jaws of the instrument. The Aragon Surgical Telco Instrument has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use the system for these procedures.
