Main Description
This listing groups Valleylab's reusable electrosurgical forceps: insulated bipolar forceps patterns used for precise coagulation in neurosurgery, spine and microsurgery. Bayonet patterns include Cushing, Gerald, Hardy and Scoville-Greenwood forceps that keep the surgeon's hand out of the line of sight over deep fields. Straight patterns include Cushing and Semkin forceps, curved iris forceps, jewelers forceps and a titanium bayonet pattern for fine work. Tip widths span 0.5 mm for the finest coagulation to 2.0 mm for broader tissue, all insulated so current stays at the tips. Two bipolar cords complete the listing: a 12 foot cord with a molded plug and a footswitch bipolar forceps cord. Forceps are reusable and supplied non-sterile, one per box.
Features and Benefits
- Pattern library – Eleven patterns across bayonet and straight formats cover neuro, spine and micro work from one listing.
- Insulated shafts – Insulation confines energy to the tips, protecting adjacent tissue along the shaft.
- Tip size gradient – Half-millimeter steps in tip width let surgeons match coagulation footprint to the vessel.
- Titanium option – The titanium bayonet pattern offers a lightweight, nonstick-leaning alternative for fine dissection.

Why Choose This Product
Bipolar forceps are career instruments for neuro and micro surgeons. Pattern and tip fidelity matter more than price. Stocking the genuine Valleylab patterns keeps preference cards exact instead of approximately matched.
- Pattern exactness – Named patterns in exact tip widths are the differentiator. Substitutes change how the instrument feels and coagulates.
- Full gradient – The 0.5 to 2.0 mm tip range in one listing covers aneurysm work to general coagulation.
- System cords included – Genuine cords in the same listing guarantee connector fit with Valleylab generators.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these forceps sterile on arrival?
No. They are reusable instruments supplied non-sterile and must be cleaned and sterilized before first use and between cases per their instructions. That reusable status is what makes them economical over years of service.
Which cord fits which forceps?
The listed 12 foot cord with molded plug and the footswitch bipolar cord are the Valleylab cords for this forceps range. Connector compatibility should be confirmed against the generator model in the IFU.
Is this device sterile and single use?
Yes. It is supplied sterile for single use unless its label states otherwise, and it must not be reprocessed or reused. Check the package integrity and expiry before every case.
How should this device be stored?
Store it in its original packaging under normal room conditions away from heat sources and moisture. Rotate stock by expiry date and quarantine any unit with damaged packaging.
What if a configuration I need is not listed?
