Force Bipolar From Da Vinci Instruments

Get two grips in one new grasper

Force Bipolar is the first da Vinci instrument with DualGrip technology.

Surgeon collaboration aimed at increasing efficiency in da Vinci cases led to a design that features two distinct grip modes.

With this instrument you can stay focused on the surgical field, instead of switching to a stronger grasper in the middle of a case.

You can use Force Bipolar throughout your case to assist with grasping, retraction, dissection, and bipolar coagulation of tissue.

Take grasping control to a new level.¹

Simply change from “Default” to “Strong” mode using your foot pedal to get a stronger hold of the suture or tissue you need to handle. The bipolar energy function is available in both modes.

Potentially save time in the O.R.

Having a grasper that covers multiple needs means you can reduce instrument exchanges and minimize workflow disruptions. And by potentially saving time during cases, you can potentially save your hospital money. Potential cost savings are relative to instrument costs.

Important safety information

Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications, which may require prolonged and/or unexpected hospitalization and/or reoperation, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: injury to tissues/organs, bleeding, infection and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction/pain.

Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci surgery, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: temporary pain/nerve injury associated with positioning; a longer operative time, the need to convert to an open approach, or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure could result in a longer operative time, a longer time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Contraindications applicable to the use of conventional endoscopic instruments also apply to the use of all da Vinci instruments.
