The Adas Instruments Adson bipolar forceps put the broad Adson thumb grip on a bipolar coagulation instrument. Current runs down one blade, across the tissue held between the tips and back up the other blade, so the tissue beside the tips stays cool. That makes it a standard instrument in ENT, plastic surgery, neurosurgery and spine work.
The shafts are insulated and only the tips are bare. The tip surface is non stick, so charred tissue does not build up and the surgeon is not stopping to wipe the tips between passes. Tips come straight or curved, in four widths: 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm.
There are two lengths, 12 cm (4 3/4 in) and 15.5 cm (6 1/4 in), and two connector styles, American and European, so the forceps fit the generator cable already in the theatre. Adas Instruments makes them in Sialkot, plain or laser marked with the buyer's brand.
