Electrosurgery Instruments

Types of electrosurgical instruments

• Bipolar Forceps — delicate-tip Adson, Malis, Yasargil, Scoville, bayonet, jeweler and irrigating patterns; the main group for fine coagulation.
• Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps — Cushing bayonet, Yasargil, Adson and jewelers patterns with tips that reduce tissue sticking.
• Monopolar Forceps & Scissors — insulated forceps that hold and coagulate, and scissors that cut and coagulate.
• Bipolar Cables — European flat plug and USA 2-pin cords with banana, Erbe-type, Martin-type or pin-spaced generator ends.

How to choose electrosurgery instruments

• Bipolar or monopolar. Bipolar keeps the current between the tips, for coagulation next to delicate structures; monopolar uses the instrument as the active electrode, for coagulating held tissue and cutting with coagulation.
• Sticking. Non-stick and irrigating bipolar forceps for work where tissue sticking matters.
• Field depth. Bayonet and long patterns for deep, narrow fields.
• Connections. Bipolar forceps need a cable whose ends match the forceps fitting and the generator socket; monopolar forceps are offered with several connector types.

What are electrosurgical instruments used for?

Coagulation of small vessels in neurosurgery, microsurgery, ophthalmic, ENT and plastic surgery; sealing bleeding points in skin, flaps and soft tissue in general and plastic surgery; and cutting soft tissue with coagulation. These are reusable electrosurgical forceps and cautery forceps; generators, pencils and disposable electrosurgical devices are not part of the range.

How BusinessMed electrosurgical instruments are made

Forceps and scissors are German stainless steel with a satin, non-reflective finish, insulated where named; reusable, autoclavable and covered by a 5-year warranty. Cables are reusable and autoclavable.
