ConMed Bipolar / Active Cables — Forceps Connection Cables (Sterile & Bulk)

Description

ConMed Bipolar / Active Cables are designed to connect bipolar forceps and other compatible electrosurgical instruments to the electrosurgical generator. These cables transmit controlled electrical energy from the generator to the instrument, enabling precise tissue coagulation while minimizing thermal spread.

The ConMed bipolar cable platform is engineered for reliable electrical conductivity, secure connector engagement, and consistent performance in high-frequency electrosurgical environments. These cables are commonly used in surgical specialties where precise coagulation and reduced lateral thermal damage are required.

The cables are available in sterile single-use packaging and non-sterile bulk formats to support different procedural workflows and reprocessing practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a bipolar cable used for?
   It connects bipolar forceps to the electrosurgical generator to transmit controlled coagulation energy.
2. Is this compatible with non-ConMed generators?
   Compatibility depends on connector standards. Always verify generator and instrument compatibility before use.
3. Are these cables reusable?
   Sterile versions are typically single-use; bulk non-sterile versions may be intended for reprocessing depending on manufacturer guidance.
