Vas deferens thermal cautery unit
Thermal cautery unit with a fine interchangeable electrode that burns the mucosal lining inside the vas lumen.
How it is used
Inserted into the lumen of each cut vas end during vasectomy to occlude it; combined with fascial interposition, it is the occlusion method with the lowest failure rate.
Clinical tip
Unlike external electrocoagulation, it acts only inside the lumen, lowering the risk of injuring the adjacent testicular artery.
