DISCOVER BiPAD®, 

the 21st-century bipolar cord.

BiPAD® saves you time, minimizes distraction and frustration - and REDUCES RISKS in the O.R.

With BiPAD® you can STOP wasting your time and energy searching for the bipolar foot pedal and STOP asking your staff to crawl on a dirty, highly pathogenic floor. 

Operating room staff handle bipolar forceps foot pedals without gloves every day in your operating room. 

Are bipolar foot pedals wasting

precious O.R. time?

BiPAD® is a quality improvement initiative for all surgeons and the entire surgical team, and your facility.
 
Foot pedals often fall off foot stands.

Our goal is ZERO!*

We LOVE BiPAD® 

because it makes bipolar forceps

EASIER to use

than using a BOVIE®.

What is BiPAD®?

  • BiPAD® is a bipolar forceps cord with an integrated hand switch that connects your forceps to your generator.

  • BiPAD® is a bipolar forceps cord with the "foot pedal" built-in as a hand switch.

  • BiPAD® serves the need of every surgeon who uses bipolar forceps electrocautery in any surgical situation.

bipadLatest.png

  • BiPAD® is the first and only hand-switching solution for bipolar forceps. 

  • BiPAD® switch assembly is removable and re-attachable and can be used as a standard cord without a hand switch.

  • BiPAD® works with any generator.

  • BiPAD® switch mechanism is malleable that adapts to any hand and any forceps. 

  • BiPAD® is designed to replace every bipolar cord in your facility for every surgeon of every specialty.

​

Bipolar forceps electrosurgery is much safer than monopolar but activating the bipolar forceps with the foot pedal is problematic at best.

​

You probably already know that

For example, you encounter hemorrhaging:

​

Without BiPAD®

​

1. You apply the bipolar forceps to the vessel.

 

2. Then you reach for the foot pedal.

    DELAY!

 

3. Then you look down to find the foot pedal.  

    DELAY and DISTRACTION!

​

4. Then you call for the circulator to help.

    DELAY!

​

Then you WAIT...

​

Finally, you COAGULATE.

​

And for surgeons, Hemorrhage + Delay = STRESS

But it doesn't HAVE to stay that way...

With BIPAD® 

Apply the bipolar forceps to the vessel.

BiPAD® Savings per Case

No. of min. saved/case x O.R. cost/min. = BiPAD® savings/case

​

Example: 12 mins* x $50** = $600 savings/case

​

 + Reduced aggravation, staff burden, risk of crawling on the floor, risk of handling filthy foot pedals, postural pain, etc.

Even if you save just one minute per case, you will save money in every case with BiPAD®.

​

*Average minutes saved with BiPAD® is 12 minutes. **Average O.R. cost per minute is $50.

WASTED TIME to include in your analysis

  1. WAITING for the bipolar foot pedal to be deployed.

  2. SEARCHING for a foot pedal with your feet.

  3. SEARCHING the foot pedal by looking down.

  4. WAITING for staff to crawl under the table.

  5. BROKEN foot pedals.

REDUCED RISK = REDUCED EXPENSE

Nurse crawling on O.R. floor

​

Work-related injuries can and do occur when staff is required to crawl under the operating room table on their hands and knees during surgery to re-locate the bipolar foot pedal.

 

If BiPAD® prevents even one of these injuries, the facility BENEFITS beyond monetary measure.

​

Our surveys indicate that O.R. staff is asked to crawl under the operating table an average of 2.3x per surgery.

 

BiPAD® is SAFER...

Have you ever resorted to using monopolar with all of its risks just because it has a hand switch?

​

Or to "buzzing" a surgical forceps clamped onto a bleeder with the Bovie® monopolar?

​

Why do plastic surgeons REQUIRE the use of bipolar forceps over monopolar electrosurgery when closing an incision?

​

Because bipolar forceps equals:

​

  • less char

  • lower infection risk, and

  • better cosmetic results.

 

You know this already!

But until BiPAD®, the monopolar pencil with its built-in hand-switch was just so much more convenient it was easier to ignore the downsides of monopolar.

BiPAD® 

also reduces postural pain & fatigue and surgeon & staff burden.

 

BiPAD®  is the only bipolar forceps cord with a built-in hand switch.​

​

It was designed so that the hand-switch is detachable, revert BiPAD®  to a standard cord for those who need more time to adapt.

 

And for surgeons with a sense of legacy, it works with the foot pedal. 

 

In other words, BiPAD®  is designed to replace every bipolar forceps cord in your facility.

What surgeons are saying...

BiPAD® gives me the ability to keep my attention on the surgical field and not have to search for a pedal or someone to help activate the bipolar.

BiPAD® is a consumable, sterile cord that replaces the cord you now use to connect your forceps to your electrosurgery generator.

BIG IMPACT

MAKE THE SWITCH!

BiPAD®  (BiPolar Activation Device) is a  sterile cord that connects bipolar forceps to the electrocautery generator while providing a hand switch that can replace or supplement the foot pedal.

The BiPAD® Bipolar Cord is compatible with most standard 2-prong forceps and most electrocautery generators.

The switch and actuator can be reversibly detached allowing the BiPAD® cord to revert to a standard cord.
