Delicate Bipolar Forceps & Scissors

Types of bipolar forceps

Neurosurgical patterns

The Malis, Yasargil and Scoville forceps coagulate small vessels on and around neural tissue; the Hardy bayonet forceps reach the bottom of deep, narrow exposures with the hand out of the line of sight.

Irrigating bipolar forceps

The irrigating bipolar forceps deliver fluid at the tips; irrigation during bipolar coagulation is documented to reduce tissue sticking.

Fine and ophthalmic patterns

Jeweler patterns give pinpoint coagulation of fine vessels — the straight jewelers bipolar forceps and the curved-shaft ophthalmic version — with the McPherson and Semken patterns for small ophthalmic and ENT fields.

Adson, Gerald and Binner

The Adson bipolar forceps and the narrow-jaw Gerald seal small bleeding points in plastic surgery and microsurgery; the Binner, also made at 45°, works in confined ENT fields.

How to choose a bipolar surgical instrument

• Depth of the field. Bayonet and long patterns for deep, narrow exposures; straight short patterns for superficial fields.
• Tip size. Jeweler and delicate tips for pinpoint coagulation; broader Adson tips for skin and soft tissue.
• Sticking. Irrigating forceps, or the Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps, where tissue sticking matters.
• Insulation and fitting. Insulated versions are named as such; check that the forceps fitting matches your bipolar cable.

What are bipolar electrocautery forceps used for?

Fine coagulation of small vessels next to delicate structures in neurosurgery and microneurosurgery, microvascular and microsurgery, ophthalmic, ENT and plastic surgery — where bipolar diathermy forceps keep the effect to the tissue in the grasp.
