European Bipolar Forceps
European bipolar forceps have a European-style connector and are widely used in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Bipolar current passes only between the two tips, giving precise, localised coagulation with very little spread of heat to the surrounding tissue (codes SI-110101 to SI-110134).
Where they are used
They are used in neurosurgery, spine surgery, plastic and hand surgery, ENT, ophthalmology and general surgery, wherever precise haemostasis is needed close to nerves or delicate structures.
Our range
- McPherson: 0.5 mm tips
- Jeweller: 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 mm tips
- Straight: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mm tips
- Bayonet: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mm tips
- Lengths: short forceps for superficial work, and long forceps for deep fields
Material and finish
Electrosurgical instruments are made from high-grade stainless steel with a durable insulation coating, leaving only the working tip exposed. Connectors are machined to fit standard US and European cables. Non-stick versions have a special tip alloy or coating that cuts tissue sticking and charring. Handles are shaped for a comfortable, secure grip, and tips are polished so tissue releases cleanly after each activation. Bipolar forceps are made with a spring tension that lets the surgeon open and close the tips precisely with light finger pressure.
How to choose
Choose tip size by the vessel size: 0.5 mm for micro vessels, 1.0 mm for general use, and 2.0 mm for larger vessels and broader coagulation. Bayonet forceps keep your hand out of the line of sight under the microscope. Straight forceps suit open, superficial fields.
Quality control
Every electrosurgical instrument is checked for continuity and insulation integrity, and the tips are inspected for alignment. Connectors are test-fitted to standard cables. Each item is cleaned and packed so the insulation and tips are protected in transit.
Care and sterilization
Check the insulation before every use, and do not use an instrument if the coating is cracked or damaged. Clean the tips gently with a soft cloth or sponge, never with abrasive pads, and flush irrigation channels after use. Reusable instruments and cables are suitable for steam sterilization. Single-use items are for one patient only.
