Kirwan's AURA® line of non-stick forceps is the product of 15 years of research and development, and represents the state-of-the-art in highly conductive non-stick forceps technology. Kirwan uses the physics of high conductivity to achieve AURA's non-stick effect during coagulation. The AURA non-stick forceps employ a patented metal alloy that creates an extremely conductive path for electrons. As a result, the forceps have the ability to conduct energy and heat away from the tips faster than any previous forceps. Since the energy and heat is rapidly dissipated, tissue is not coagulated onto the tips.
