Caiman®
Seal and Cut

Caiman® 5 Maryland

Caiman® 5 Maryland features a unique jaw design, providing uniform compression, resulting in one seal confidence. Caiman® 12.5 cm, 17 cm, 36 cm and 44 cm shaft is used for a variety of laparoscopic and open surgical applications.

Patented jaw mechanism

Caiman® 5 Maryland features a jaw engineered like no other. The lower jaw hinge causes the tip of the instrument to close first – capturing tissue and preventing slippage. This unique design then allows the upper and lower jaws to compress tissue in parallel, creating even compression forces distal to proximal.

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
