Also called Bipolar diathermy forceps · Bipolar coagulation forceps · Bipolar electrosurgical forceps · Bipolar cautery forceps
Carries the flat leaf-spring handle typical of American-pattern bipolar forceps rather than the narrower round-barrel grip used on the European-pattern forceps in this family, with the tip built to the Scoville profile rather than the Adson, Cushing or McPherson tip shapes also sold in this range.
A spring-form electrosurgical forceps in which each of the two arms is one electrode, so current passes only between the two tips. There is no screw joint, no lock and no ring handle: the arms are joined at a fixed proximal block and open by their own spring. The size of the article is the tip width in millimeters together with the overall length, and the shank is made straight, bayonet (offset so the hand clears the line of sight) or angled. A fitting at the proximal end takes the bipolar cable, and the two ends of the market, two-pin European and flat-pin American, are separate standards that do not interchange.

Quality control
The inspection step is set by the line you order.
- Economy line
- sample: visual + dimensional
- Clinical line
- sample + boil test
- Premium line
- tighter sample + hardness test
- Executive line
- 100% inspection + laser mark
Finish A color is a second choice, made on top of the line. Colored finishes on request, on any instrument, in addition to the steel line. Evidenced: black · gold · rose gold · blue · rainbow (anodised titanium).
How it is built
- Spring-form (tweezer) body: two arms fixed at a proximal block, no joint and no lock
- Each arm is one pole; the arms are electrically isolated from each other along the body
- Tip width in mm is the size designation, from about 0.4 mm upward
- Shanks made straight, bayonet (offset) and angled or curved
- Insulated (coated shank) and uninsulated versions are both standard
- Irrigating versions carry a fluid tube along one arm to the tip
- Proximal fitting for the cable is made in two-pin European and flat-pin American formats
- Made in stainless steel and in titanium; some lines carry non-stick tip surfaces

This describes the bipolar forcep as an article. 39 other articles in this catalog share it: the sentence above is what separates this one. This describes the article. The steel, the finish and the inspection step are set by the line you order.
Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.
If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.
Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
