Research summary
This study looks at the use of HARMONIC 700 Shears, a medical device used for cutting and sealing blood vessels and tissue during various types of surgery. The performance of the device will be measured in terms of how well it seals (stops bleeding from) blood vessels that have been cut during surgery. The safety of the device will be assessed by looking at the number of adverse events related to the use of the device. All potential participants will receive the same care and treatment whether on not they take part in the study. The only difference being that at study sites where the HARMONIC 700 Shears are not routinely used, these will be used in place of the device(s) the surgeon normally uses for cutting and sealing.
