Bipolar cables are electrical cables used to connect bipolar forceps or other bipolar instruments to an electrosurgical generator. These cables transmit an electrical current from the generator to the instrument, allowing the surgeon to coagulate tissue without the need for a grounding pad.

Bipolar cables are designed to provide a safe and reliable electrical connection between the instrument and the generator. They are typically made of high-quality materials, such as silicone or Teflon, to ensure good electrical insulation and durability.

Proper care and maintenance of bipolar cables are important to ensure their safe and effective use. Healthcare professionals must inspect the cables regularly for signs of wear or damage, and replace them if necessary. Care must also be taken to ensure that the cables are properly connected to the instrument and the generator to prevent the risk of electrical shock or other complications.

Bipolar cables are available in a variety of lengths and configurations to suit different surgical procedures and preferences. They are an important component of bipolar electrosurgery, which is widely used in a variety of surgical specialties, including neurosurgery, ophthalmology, and plastic surgery.
