Care all About Life

The bipolar forceps securely grasp tissue, precisely dissect, and can effectively coagulate small as well as huge blood vessels (2 mm to 20 mm), alleviating the need for surgical clips or staples.

This instrument was designed by the present author in 1992, first evaluated in 1994, and subsequently utilized as integral to all operative laparoscopic procedures, advanced or not.

The following results summarize the comparative experience using the bipolar dissector/ grasper (BiCOAG dissector/grasper, Gyrus Medical Inc., Maple Grove, MN) in the performance of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH).

This procedure was chosen because it has sufficient complexity, requiring the instrument to perform all the basic tasks for evaluation (large-vessel sealing, fulguration, and dissection/grasping).

Additionally, the technique for performing LSH was, at that time in the present author’s clinic, standardized so that for comparable pathology the results could be evaluated in a retrospective manner, changing only the variable of the use of a different device for these bipolar tasks.
