What are bipolar pliers?
bipolar pliers are similar to normal surgical pliers in the shape, but the intended purpose is much different. Unlike surgical pliers to open and hold tissue, they have bipolar pliers designed for coagulation - or create a solid or semisolid - tissue using electric current. This electric current is fired over the tips of bipolar pliers. These pliers come in many different materials and are offered in one -off and repeatedly usable varieties.
Bipolar pliers were given this name because the pliers are connected to a bipolar cable that offers a bipolar energy output provided by an electrgical generator. The bipolar cable connects to the connector at the rear of the pliers. The electric current in these pliers is not constant. It is controlled by a surgeon that uses a pump or switch to turn on the current only if necessary. If the current does not pass through the pliers, they can be used as a normal surgical pliers.lu loss of blood or to seal tissue. Electric current can also be used to heat hard tissue and make it easier to separate. The tissue does not hold on the tip of the pliers, because the heat and the current are referred to from the tip. However, two procedures in which bipolar pliers cannot be used effectively are tubular coagulations for sterilization and tubular sterilization. Both of these procedures include sterilizing women as a way to avoid having children.
The three most common materials for bipolar pliers are surgical stainless steel, titanium and various types of plastic. Some procedures will require a specific type of material and some patients may have reactions to certain materials. It is usually a surgeon's preferences. Together with different materials, pliers also come in different shapes that can help in performing certav procedures.
Repeated and disposable versions of these pliers are available. Repeatedly usable versions JSOu odolnější, protože se používají nepřetržitě. Mezi postupy jsou kleště autoklávovány nebo sterilizovány, aby se zajistilo, že žádné bakterie nebo nemoci se přenášejí na dalšího pacienta. Po určitém čase bude možná nutné opravit kleště, což může vést k vyšších celkových nákladů.
Jednorázové bipolární kleště jsou vyrobeny pro jednorázové použití před odhozením kleště. Samotné kleště jsou levnější a nejsou s nimi spojeny žádné opravy ani dezinfekční náklady. Na druhou stranu bude chirurg potřebovat velkou zásobu kleští a kleště obvykle nejsou tak odolné, protože jsou určeny pouze pro jedno použití.
