What is one of the complications of using Sonicision in larger vessels?

One of the complications of using Sonicision in larger vessels is excessive bleeding. Sonicision is a device used for surgical cutting and sealing, particularly in procedures that involve vessels. When applied to larger vessels, the energy delivered can sometimes exceed the tissue’s ability to be effectively sealed, leading to incomplete closure of the vessel. This could result in significant blood loss during or after the procedure if the hemorrhage is not controlled.

Understanding the nature of larger vessels, which typically have thicker walls and a more extensive blood supply, is crucial in this context. The challenge with larger diameter vessels is ensuring that the sealing mechanism is adequately applied, avoiding situations where excessive energy may jeopardize hemostasis, thereby causing complications such as excessive bleeding.

In contrast, issues such as vessel tearing and failure to seal also present risks but are more closely tied to the manipulation technique and specific device settings, rather than being a direct outcome of using Sonicision in larger vessels. Non-compliance typically refers to patient behavior rather than a complication of the technology itself. Hence, excessive bleeding remains the primary concern when applying this technology to larger vascular structures.
