Potts-Smith bipolar forceps 7 straight shafts 0.7mm wide non-stick tips insulated flat handle

Controlled Handling for Bipolar Surgical Workflows

The Potts-Smith bipolar forceps are designed for controlled tissue handling and bipolar instrument work where a straight profile and fine 0.7 mm tips support precise access. At 7 inches, the forceps provide useful working reach while maintaining a familiar forceps format for General Surgery and Plastic Surgery applications. Straight shafts support direct approach and clear visualization around the working field, while the non-stick tips can help limit unwanted adherence during handling. The insulated flat handle provides a practical gripping surface for deliberate manipulation and consistent instrument positioning during focused surgical tasks.

Use Cases

• Grasping and manipulating tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Supporting fine tissue handling and controlled positioning in plastic surgery workflows.
• Approaching the operative field with straight shafts when a direct instrument path is preferred.
• Using the narrow 0.7 mm tips for focused handling in areas requiring a fine working end.
• Maintaining controlled hand positioning with the flat handle during bipolar forceps use.

Care & Handling

• Clean the forceps according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument instructions for use.
• Inspect the straight shafts, fine tips, insulation, and flat handle for visible damage, deformation, residue, or loss of alignment before use.
• Handle the 0.7 mm tips carefully to avoid bending, impact, or contact with other instruments during cleaning and storage.
• Store the forceps in a manner that protects the non-stick tips and prevents unnecessary contact with other instruments.
