Advanced bipolar instruments combine mechanics and sophisticated Lektrafuse energy delivery, with patented features making the instrument characteristics unique.

Advanced bipolar instruments

AESCULAP® Caiman® Seal and Cut instruments feature patented mechanisms which are key to enable high uniform tissue compression and avoid tissue slippage. Excellent vessel sealing quality and simplified tissue positioning in the jaw can be achieved. [1] Caiman® is intended to be used as a multipurpose vessel sealing instrument in laparoscopic and open surgery within the surgical fields of general surgery, gynecology, urology and thoracic surgery. [2] The instruments are utilized for hysterectomy, colectomy, gastrectomy, and much more.
