Problem
During open surgical procedures such as craniotomies, surgeons often need to repeatedly switch between bipolar forceps for coagulation and micro-scissors for dissection. This constant exchange of instruments between the surgeon and an assistant prolongs operation times and can contribute to physician fatigue.
Solution
Divyze has developed the Bipolar Forceps/Micro-Scissors (BPMS™), a handheld surgical instrument that integrates bipolar forceps and micro-scissors into a single device. This functional integration allows surgeons to seamlessly transition between dissection and coagulation with a flip of a switch, eliminating the need to exchange instruments. By reducing the number of steps and hand movements required during surgery, the BPMS™ aims to shorten procedure times, decrease patient recovery times, and improve operating room efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes neurosurgeons and other surgeons performing open surgical procedures such as Women's Health, Urology, Spine, and General Surgery that require both bipolar coagulation and dissection.
Features
- Combines bipolar forceps and micro-scissors into one ergonomic, handheld device
- Allows seamless switching between dissection and coagulation via a simple switch mechanism
- Designed for use in craniotomies and other open surgical procedures requiring both coagulation and dissection
- Aims to reduce operation times, patient recovery times, and physician fatigue
