Bipolar forceps are specialized surgical instruments used in electrosurgery to coagulate tissues and control bleeding. Unlike monopolar instruments, which require a grounding pad, bipolar forceps pass electrical current between the two tips of the forceps, making them safer and more precise. They are particularly useful in delicate surgeries, such as neurosurgery or ophthalmology, as they allow for targeted coagulation without affecting surrounding tissues. The bipolar design reduces the risk of tissue damage and provides enhanced control in controlling bleeding.
