Our bipolar electrodes are light weight and made of heavy duty synthetic material. Due to their groove profil and a recessed handle these electrodes provide a secure grip while working. The special isolation of the tip ensures high dielectric strength. They can be cleaned fast and easily.

What is a Bipolar electrode A bipolar electrode is a conductive surgical instrument with two ends at which the electrical power is transmitted to the tissue. In contrast, a unipolar electrode has only one contact point for conducting electricity.
What is the difference between bipolar and monopolar Electrodes Electrical cortical stimulation can be performed in two ways: bipolar and monopolar stimulation. Bipolar stimulation uses adjacent pairs of electrodes, while monopolar stimulation uses a single electrode and a remote neutral electrode
The main difference between monopolar and bipolar electrodes lies in the current conduction. In the monopolar method, the current flows from an active electrode via the patient to a neutral electrode, while in the bipolar method the current flows between two electrodes.
Monopolar electrode: The current flows from an active electrode through the patient to the neutral electrode (large-area electrode on the patient). The neutral electrode absorbs the current and conducts it back to the high-frequency generator.
The current flow of the monopolar electrode can generate a greater current density in the patient's body and thus pose a greater risk of undesirable effects, especially in patients with pacemakers or during operations in the vicinity of organs with a small cross-section. Bipolar electrode: The current only flows between two electrodes on the instrument, e.g. bipolar coagulation forceps. Does not require a neutral electrode as the electrodes are isolated from each other and the tissue between them closes the circuit. The bipolar electrode produces precise and more controlled current conduction as the current only flows through the tissue between the electrodes. It is safer than the monopolar method, as the risk of unwanted side effects is lower, especially in patients with pacemakers or in operations close to organs with a small cross-section.
To summarize: Monopolar electrodes use one active and one neutral electrode to complete the circuit. Bipolar electrodes use two electrodes and the circuit is closed via the tissue. The bipolar method is safer and offers more precise and controlled current conduction.
