A bipolar scissor is a surgical instrument that is used in a variety of surgical procedures to cut and coagulate tissue using high-frequency electrical energy. It is called a bipolar scissor because it has two electrodes, one at each end of the scissors, which are used to deliver the electrical energy.

The bipolar scissor works by delivering electrical energy to the tissue being cut. The energy passes through the tissue and causes it to heat up, which leads to the formation of a seal. This sealing effect helps to reduce bleeding during the surgical procedure.

Bipolar scissors are commonly used in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries, where minimally invasive techniques are employed. They can also be used in open surgeries, particularly those involving delicate tissues, such as in neurosurgery or ophthalmology.

Bipolar scissors come in different sizes and shapes, depending on the specific surgical procedure and the surgeon’s preferences. They can be straight or curved, and may have different blade configurations, such as straight or serrated.

It is important to use high-quality, reliable bipolar scissors during surgical procedures to ensure that they function correctly and safely. Proper maintenance and handling of the scissors can help prevent damage or breakage during use, which could result in injury to the patient or damage to the surgical instrument. Additionally, it is important to use the appropriate size and shape of the scissors for the specific tissue being cut or coagulated.
