In bipolar applications, the high-frequency current only flows between the two neighbouring electrodes on the respective surgical instrument and not through the rest of the patient’s body.

In monopolar applications, the high-frequency current from an active electrode flows to the neutral electrode via the path offering least resistance. The neutral electrode should be as large as possible and lie flush with the body in order to keep the current density as low as possible and to avoid burns.
An integrated “traffic light system” offers added patient and user safety as the position of the neutral electrode and its contact with the patient are monitored constantly.

The MBC range encompasses high-frequency surgery instruments developed for all surgical applications and is also a reliable partner in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).

We offer the following instruments for monopolar and bipolar applications:
