Bipolar 3,5 mm TAKE-APART® Instruments with Non-Retracting Jaws for Paediatric Surgery

The bipolar grasping forceps is one of the most frequently used instruments in surgical laparoscopy. In previously used models (single sheath bipolar forceps), the coagulating parts retracted by about 1 cm after the forceps was closed. In order to coagulate at the desired site, the surgeon had to compensate for this backward movement with an active forward movement. Because of their “double-tube” design, the new forceps no longer require this compensating movement and the targeted coagulation of a haemorrhage is facilitated.

Conclusion:
The new bipolar coagulation forceps system should clearly facilitate handling and correct placement of the forceps, especially for beginners or surgeons having little experience with the previous system, since the compensating movement is no longer necessary.
