Bayonet Bipolar Forceps

Bayonet bipolar forceps are used in neurosurgery and micronueorosurgery. The bayonet style allows for the neurosurgeon to go deep into the brain with longer and slimmer tines for easy access in small operative cavities while keeping the surgeon’s hand from the line of site to increase visibility. There are many different types of bayonet bipolar forceps styles and tip lengths and styles based on the preference of the neurosurgeon. One of the most popular styles used broadly is the Malis style. Bayonet style bipolar forceps are often available as insulated and non-insulated with irrigation and without irrigation.
