Bipolar Scissors for Circumcision

One of the trickiest things any surgeon has to deal with is loss of blood. It's bad for the patient, its messy, and makes operations difficult because the surgeon can't see what's going on.

In Scotland they're testing a new type of surgical scissors, that can cut and seal a wound at the same time. Testing has so far been used on simple surgical procedures like tonsillectomy and circumcision. The scissors would be used only in relation to a circumcision method such as the forceps guided method of circumcision, as use in conjunction with a metal clamp could cause serious damage to the glans penis.
