Product Spotlight: Precision, Performance & Reliability in Bipolar Instruments
When it comes to electrosurgery, precision and reliability are vital. Surgical Holdings is proud to showcase a selection of bipolar forceps designed to deliver superior thermal control, reduce intraoperative interruptions, and support safer, more efficient procedures. This month, we shine the spotlight on three standout solutions: Bissinger BiTech Bipolar Forceps, Claris+ Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps, and the Bissinger Bipolar Forceps with Irrigation.
Bissinger BiTech Bipolar Forceps
Engineered for consistently high performance, the Bissinger BiTech Bipolar Forceps are distinguished by their solid noble-metal tips, which provide exceptional thermal conductivity. This ensures tissue does not adhere to the tips, significantly reducing interruptions during surgery.
Unlike coated surfaces that may degrade over time, the BiTech forceps’ tips are made entirely of noble metal, ensuring the non-stick effect remains permanent, even after repolishing. Surgeons can rely on high-precision, shaped tips available in a range of sizes, enabling pinpoint accuracy across nearly all applications.
Additional design advantages include:
- Durable insulation coating resistant to highly alkaline cleaning agents, ensuring long-term electrical safety.
- Wide-fluted handling surfaces for secure grip and reduced fatigue.
- Hardened stainless steel construction (excluding the tips) for optimal and consistent spring tension.
- Plastic safety plugs that fully enclose the connection area, preventing debris from collecting in hard-to-reach areas.
Claris+ Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps
During bipolar coagulation, tissue build-up on the forceps tips can interrupt workflow and extend procedure times. Claris+ Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps address this challenge with a highly effective, permanent non-stick solution.
The tips are crafted from an alloy with a very high silver content, ensuring outstanding thermal conductivity. This dramatically reduces the adhesion of tissue, meaning that intraoperative cleaning is often unnecessary, allowing procedures to progress smoothly.
Key benefits include:
- A permanent non-stick effect that does not diminish, even after repeated cleaning and sterilisation cycles.
- Enhanced efficiency through fewer procedural interruptions.
- Compatibility with all electrosurgical generators when used with compatible bipolar cables.
Bissinger Bipolar Forceps with Irrigation
For applications where tissue is particularly prone to sticking, the Bissinger Bipolar Forceps with Irrigation offer a valuable enhancement. Designed with integrated irrigation channels and a Luer-Lock connector, these instruments deliver targeted rinsing directly to the tips.
· Duckbill with Irrigation – Ideal for procedures involving tissues that strongly adhere to the forceps, the NaCl rinsing solution helps maintain optimal electrical contact and reduces the need for intraoperative cleaning.
· Bayonet with Double Irrigation – Featuring two-sided irrigation, this design provides simultaneous, focused rinsing of both forceps tips, making it particularly effective for highly demanding applications.
By improving conductivity and minimising adhesion, these forceps support smoother, more controlled coagulation.
