Bipolar Forceps
Our SILVERGlide family of reusable non-stick bipolar forceps is designed to address the issue of tissue adhesion and thermal damage during surgery.
SILVERGlide
Features and benefits
Variety of tine lengths and tip sizes and styles
Microgauge tines designed to provide clear view of tissue
Highly pure silver alloy plating designed to prevent sticking of tissues to bipolar forceps
Prompt coagulation with low thermal spread, leading to less collateral damage to surrounding tissue
Light, balanced ergonomic handle design for comfort and visibility
Guide-stop that aligns tines to eliminate scissoring of tips
Standard two-pin round connector compatible with most standard foot-switching bipolar electrosurgical generators
Reusable up to 20 times - reducing environmental waste
Standard steam autoclave cycle sterilisation with no disassembly required
Non-stick, no hassle
SILVERFlide's patented silver plating is designed to prevent tissue buildup and adhesion. Instead of stopping to scrape the tips, a quick wipe with a moistended surgical sponge keeps the tips clean. Clean tips keep procedures flowing smoothly without interruption and let you use lower power settings to achieve the same surgical results.
The "gold standard" in silver plating
SILVERGlide is a properietary technology designed to reduce molecular bonding force and eliminate hot spots on the forceps tips. The SILVERGlide alloy defuses heat 37 times better than standard stainless steel - and lab tests and field experience show that non-stick technology enables continuous performance up to 20 times.
How SILVERGlide eliminates sticking
Standard stainless steel forceps
Hot spots from sparks occur during coagulation.
These hot spots cause localised sticking
Tissue seared to the forceps tips is ripped away
SILVERGlide non-stick
Hot spots start to occur during coagulation.
Heat is diffused rapidly to prevent sticking.
The forceps can be removed without tissue sticking

“The SILVERGlide forceps don’t char or stick, and because of this are extremely accurate in their application of energy. They’ve proven to be one of the best equipment purchases I’ve made.“
