Sklar Bayonet Style Bipolar Forceps, 7 Inch
A 7 inch bayonet shaped bipolar electrosurgical forceps used for controlled coagulation of tissue and vessels during neurosurgery and microsurgery.
The Sklar Bayonet Style Bipolar Forceps is an electrosurgical instrument used to coagulate tissue and small vessels using bipolar current passed between its two tips. The bayonet shape offsets the shaft from the tip, keeping the surgeon's hand and the instrument body out of the direct line of sight down a deep or narrow surgical corridor, which is why this shaft style is common in neurosurgery and other deep field microsurgery.
Measuring 7 inches with a 1mm tip, it is sized for fine coagulation work rather than bulk tissue sealing, letting the surgeon control bleeding from small vessels with minimal thermal spread to surrounding structures. Bipolar forceps of this kind connect to a compatible electrosurgical generator and cable rather than working as a standalone hand instrument.
They are a standard part of neurosurgical, spine and microsurgical instrument trays where precise hemostasis in a confined field is routine. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is designed for repeated clinical use and standard reprocessing between procedures, and is typically stocked alongside matching cables and generator adapters.
