Laparoscopic Bipolar Coagulation Forceps for General and Gynecological Procedures: Surgical Safety
Surgical procedures have evolved significantly over the years, with advantages in technology and techniques aimed at improving patient outcomes and minimizing complications. Laparoscopic surgeries have become commonplace for minimally invasive procedures. One such advancement is the use of laparoscopic bipolar coagulation forceps, a widely used surgical instrument in both general, urologic and gynecological procedures.
Bipolar cautery is a surgical technique that utilizes controlled electrical energy to coagulate tissue and achieve hemostasis during surgical procedures. Hysterectomies are a procedure to treat patients with abnormal bleeding, extreme pelvic pain and or cancerous diagnoses. Urological procedures such as resections of renal carcinomas are also an excellent application of the technology. Last, General Surgery procedures such as Lap Cholecystectomies and appendectomies make excellent use of electrosurgical instruments.Â
The Orbitaris offers surgeons a wide selection of bipolar cautery options perfect for each procedure and unique anatomy. These include the Large oval opening, Toucan short curved, Fenestrated, Scissors, Maryland and all have a premium coating that are durable. The Tube that holds the electrode is a long 34cm hollow shaft that is both easy to clean and rigid for precise surgery. The handle allows two axes of rotation, first the electrode can be rotated 360 degrees making it ideal for all approaches. The biggest benefit for surgeons is the rotating handle that gives superior control, and an ergonomic advantage allowing comfort during use. A real revolution in laparoscopic surgical procedures.
Additional safety concerns have recently become common discussion in Operating Rooms around the world. Incidence of inadvertent patient burns have been reported in these procedures has been reported as high as 15%. 1% of patients is a high number but 15% is absolutely crazy! Conventional Laparoscopic Bipolar Coagulation Forceps become damaged with use and reprocessing exposing dangerous electrodes to inadvertent secondary burns. Every other version available on the market uses a powder coat insulation to prevent these burns, some companies even market having an “additional layer” of insulation to prevent such occurrences. We proudly offer a revolutionary design with a uniquely insulated forcep consisting of stainless steel. All of the electrodes are insluated not just by this, but an outer Stainless Steel sleeve that completely eliminates this dangerous risk.
Bipolar cautery is considered a safe technique with a low risk of thermal injury to adjacent tissues. It also offers cost benefits by reducing the need for additional equipment and operating room time. Additionally, the article highlights the potential for shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery, contributing to overall cost savings in healthcare systems. Laparoscopic Bipolar coagulation forceps like the Orbitaris have emerged as an efficient and precise surgical instrument in both general, gynecological and urological procedures.Â
