Surtron Bipolar Adapter for Electrosurgical Units
An adapter that connects compatible bipolar instruments to a Surtron electrosurgical generator, extending the unit to support bipolar procedures for daily hospital and clinic use.
The Surtron Bipolar Adapter is fitted to a compatible electrosurgical generator to allow it to work with bipolar instruments, such as bipolar forceps, in addition to whatever monopolar accessories the unit already supports. Some electrosurgical generators are built primarily around monopolar output, and an adapter like this bridges the connection so a bipolar instrument's cable can plug into the same base unit rather than needing an entirely separate bipolar only generator.
This gives a facility more flexibility from a single piece of capital equipment, letting theatre staff switch between monopolar and bipolar techniques as a procedure demands without changing machines. Because it sits between the generator and the bipolar cable, correct fitting of the adapter matters for a safe and reliable electrical connection during use.
Operating theatres running Surtron electrosurgical units add an adapter like this when they want to bring bipolar instruments into a setup that was originally configured for monopolar work.
