Caiman® 5 Articulating Maryland

The World‘s First Advanced Bipolar Vessel Sealer with Articulating Maryland Jaw in 5 mm Diameter

Caiman® 5 Articulating Maryland features a unique fine curved jaw design, providing uniform compression, resulting in one seal confidence. Caiman® 36 cm and 44 cm shaft is used for a variety of laparoscopic applications with articulating tip.

Articulating Maryland jaw

The fine curved Caiman® 5 Articulating Maryland vessel sealer delivers simplified navigation in challenging anatomy through the combination of increased dissection performance and enhanced tip visualization with distal tip articulation technology.

Red represents minimum required pressure (or greater). Blue represents insufficient pressure. Minimum required pressures based on Aesculap calculated requirements. Graphs of minimum required pressure produced on a synthetic tissue model. *Data on file at Aesculap AG

Caiman 02 — Tip first closure – Avoids tissue slippage within the jaw

Long jaw tip – Enlarged vessel sealing length and improved surgical efficiency. *Data on file at Aesculap AG

Motion freedom in small spaces

The Maryland jaw features a short articulation mechanism for easy maneuvering in small spaces.

Efficient jaw tip positioning

The articulating tip allows a side view jaw visualization to allow precise positioning.

Perpendicular sealing

Articulation allows jaw positioning in a 90° angle to increase the robustness of the sealing line, as a perpendicular approach ensures the shortest sealing line.
