FDA Gives 510(k) Clearance to LTC’s VAD System

Live Tissue Connect (LTC), a subsidiary of CSMG Technologies, received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market its LTC VAD System.

As opposed to conventional surgical closing devices such as sutures or clamps, the VAD.400 generator and two disposable instruments are used in open surgical and gynecological procedures to bond and reconnect human soft tissue through fusion, CSMG said.

The system can be used on veins and arteries up to 7 mm in diameter, on ducts up to 2 mm in diameter and tissue bundles that can fit in the jaw electrodes of the instruments.
