Metzenbaum Bipolar Dissecting Scissors, Ceramic Protector, Tip Protection

## Product Overview

Metzenbaum Bipolar Dissecting Scissors, Ceramic Protector, Tip Protection is a bipolar dissecting scissors, ceramic protector, tip protection listed in the HF Instruments range of the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, page 1418. The catalog identifies the instrument under the METZENBAUM pattern, which is the designation procurement teams and distributors use to identify this instrument family across suppliers. The source catalog is bilingual and prints the designation as Bipolar Dissecting Scissors, Ceramic Protector, Tip Protection in English and Bipolare Präparierschere, Keramikprotektor, Spitzenschutz in German, so either term can be used when matching this item against an existing inventory or tender list. This entry represents the complete catalogued family of 2 configurations rather than a single item, so the specifications below describe the full printed range. Each configuration carries its own catalog number and is quoted separately. The family is printed in the catalog under the range BC689R-BC690R. It is classified in the catalog under Surgical Instruments > HF Instruments > Bipolar Dissecting Scissors, Ceramic Protector, Tip Protection.

## Design Characteristics

The following characteristics are printed for every configuration in this listing: length 280 mm, BipoJET, curved, blunt, insulated, bipolar, and length (imperial) 11″. Overall length is printed as 280 mm (11″ imperial). The instrument carries the BipoJET product-line designation printed in the catalog. The working portion is printed as curved, which is the geometry the catalog specifies for this reference. The catalog prints the working edge as blunt. The instrument is printed as insulated, which governs how it may be paired with an electrosurgical generator. The catalog prints the energy mode as bipolar, which determines the generator connection and cable configuration required. The catalog prints these descriptors bilingually: curved (gebogen) and insulated (isoliert).

## Configuration Options

The family is catalogued in 2 configurations. The source catalog does not print an attribute that distinguishes every configuration in this family, so each is identified by its printed catalog number. The printed specification for each is reproduced below exactly as it appears in the source, with no value inferred.

– **BC689R** — curved; bipolar; insulated; BipoJET; blunt; length 280 mm
– **BC690R** — curved; bipolar; insulated; BipoJET; blunt; length 280 mm

Each configuration above is a separately catalogued item and can be quoted individually or as a set. Where two configurations carry identical printed specifications, the source catalog distinguishes them by catalog number only.
