Bayonet Forceps (malis type) flat handles, 8-3/4" (22.5 cm) Titanium Bipolar Bayonet Forceps are designed to minimize heat and current while coagulating. For use during bipolar electrosurgical procedures, these forceps are designed with 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm tips. The tips are available as straight, angled up, angled down, or curved up. All models have a flat handle design. Insulation and insulation with irrigation is available. These forceps combine the usefulness of bipolar and titanium forceps. Bipolar forceps are designed to control temperatures, minimize heat and current spread and reduce tissue sticking or charring while coagulating during bipolar electrosurgical procedures. They are available in a variety of styles that provide bipolar coagulating capabilities for a wide range of procedures: irrigating or non-irrigating (for flushing surgical site to improve visualization), with or without insulation (to eliminate conduction to surrounding tissues when performing deep procedures), straight or bayonet-shaped (to enhance visibility by keeping the surgeon's hand from the line of sight). These forceps are made from titanium for reduced hand fatigue and increased durability. Titanium is a rare, lustrous metallic element which has proven to be technically superior in a wide variety or medical applications. Forceps manufactured with a lightweight, titanium alloy body offer advantages for procedures that require delicate precision: 1. greater strength and durability than stainless steel, 2. resistance to corrosion, staining and pitting, 3. almost half the weight of stainless steel, offering a more tactile feel with minimal fatigue, 4. blue-colored tint reduces glare, and 5. non-magnetic material resists static buildup.
