Forceps and scissors.Karl Storz Endoscopy-America, Inc.'s RoBi[TM] rotating Bipolar Forceps and Scissors scissors Cutting instrument or tool consisting of a pair of opposed metal blades that meet and cut when the handles at their ends are brought together. Modern scissors are of two types: the more usual pivoted blades have a rivet or screw connection between the cutting ends have been recognized by the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons as a 2005 Innovation of the Year.

Lateral tissue damage and sticking of tissue are minimized during
procedures with RoBi hand instruments. Optimal bipolar grasping is made
possible by a robust hinge that has been incorporated into the
wide-opening jaws of the instruments. The fully rotational, 360[degrees]

Hand instruments of this type have typically been disposable, significantly increasing procedure costs. Because RoBi Forceps and Scissors are completely reusable and autoclavable, they provide a potential cost savings to hospitals. Circle 128 on Reader Service Card [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
