Description
Designed for precision in delicate electrosurgical procedures, the Bipolar Forceps Jeweller offers unparalleled control and accuracy. These instruments are crafted for surgeons who require meticulous handling of small anatomical structures, making them ideal for microsurgery, neurosurgery, and other specialized fields such as ENT, ophthalmic, gynecological, and plastic surgery.
Key Features
- Bipolar Electrosurgical Functionality: The forceps deliver a controlled electrical current between two closely aligned electrodes at the tips. This enables precise coagulation and cutting, minimizing bleeding and reducing collateral tissue damage.
- Jeweller-Style Tips: Characterized by fine, tapered tips, commonly around 0.25mm, these forceps allow for high-precision work. Options include smooth or serrated tips, with non-stick coatings like silver alloy to reduce tissue adhesion and facilitate cleaning.
- Material Options: Typically constructed from high-quality materials such as German stainless steel or titanium. Some models feature Rilsan Nylon 11 insulation for enhanced thermal resistance and durability.
Ergonomic Design
The lightweight and ergonomic design of the Bipolar Forceps Jeweller reduces hand fatigue, enhancing maneuverability during lengthy or complex surgeries. Available in common lengths of 10.8cm and 11cm, these instruments are offered in both reusable and single-use sterile options. Reusable models are autoclavable up to 20 times, ensuring long-term usability.
Compatibility and Resistance
Designed to be compatible with modern electrosurgical units, these forceps typically feature a 2-pin plug with 28mm spacing. Adaptors are available for other units, ensuring broad compatibility. Certain models offer resistance to chemicals and electrostatic discharge, making them suitable for non-medical precision tasks such as jewelry repair and electronic assembly.
Maintenance and Sterilization
Proper maintenance includes thorough cleaning and inspection after each use. Sterilization can be achieved through steam or flash autoclaving at 275°F (134°C) for 5 minutes, or gas (ETO) sterilization as per manufacturer guidelines. Regular inspection of the tips for wear or damage is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
Storage and Warranty
Store the instruments at temperatures between -10ºC to +70ºC with 10% to 50% relative humidity. Some models come with a 3-month warranty or coverage for up to 20 autoclave cycles, providing peace of mind and assurance of quality.
