BiTech bipolar scissors enable cutting and dissection with simultaneous bipolar coagulation. They can also be used for precise pinpoint or zone coagulation of blood-vessels and tissue. The various working lengths allow the scissors to be used for a large number of applications in open surgery. A patented construction principle, which was developed by Dr. J. Manushakian*, ensures that the scissors are both easy to use and to repair. The electrical contacts for both scissor blades are conducted via one section of the handle, i.e. the connection cable only needs to be attached to one ring, which significantly reduces interference during handling. The scissor blades are flexibly joined by means of a standard steel scissor screw which does not need to be insulated and, as a result, is not subject to wear.
