Differences between Thunderbeat, Ligasure and Harmonic Scalpel Energy System in Minimally Invasive Surgery World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgery, January-April 2014;7(1):41-44 41 WJOLS Differences between Thunderbeat, LigaSure and Harmonic Scalpel Energy

Background: An essential part of Surgery is dissection and securing hemostasis. This is easily done by the use of energy. Thunderbeat energy source has superseded the LigaSure and harmonic energy sources in this respect. Aim: To review literature on the differences between thunderbeat, LigaSure and harmonic energy systems. Materials and methods: These were drawn from previous research materials online in PubMed, researchgate, Wikipedia and YouTube. Conclusion: Thunderbeat has a higher versatility than other instruments. This new energy device is an appealing, safe alternative for cutting, coagulation, and tissue dissection during surgery and decreases time and increases versatility during surgical procedures
